Exegesis
The adverbial bᵉ-kḥol-hā-āreṣ {בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ | bᵉ-kḥol-hā-āreṣ} ‘throughout all the land’ indicates wide scope, and the infinitive lē-ʾĕmôr {לֵאמֹר | lē-ʾĕmôr} ‘saying’ introduces the imperative yišmᵉʿû {יִשְׁמְעוּ | yišmᵉʿû} ‘let them hear’, with hā-ʻivrîm {הָעִבְרִים | hā-ʻivrîm} ‘the Hebrews’. This progression from military initiative to communal summons underscores swift mobilization and public proclamation.
