Exegesis
The object ’ê-lay {אֵלַי | ’ê-lay} ‘to me’ with temporal modifier hayom {הַיּוֹם | ha-yōm} ‘today’ specifies timing, and the noun phrase ’ê-ven gedolah {אֶבֶן גְּדוֹלָה | ’e-ḇen ḡə-dō-lā} ‘a large stone’ concludes the directive. This sequence of vav-consecutive markers and alternating speech forms heightens the urgency and the text’s legal-theological emphasis.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:33
And they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating blood.” And he said, “You have acted treacherously ; roll to me today a great stone.”
