Exegesis
The narrative shifts with waṯṭōmer {וַתֹּ֤אמֶר | waṯṭōmer}, introducing Michal’s reply that quotes the qal perfect hûʼ-ʾāmar {הוּא־אָמַ֥ר | hûʼ-ʾāmar}, followed by the imperative šalləḥnî {שַׁלְּחִ֖נִי | šalləḥnî} and the imperfect question ʾămittêḵ {אֲמִיתֵֽךְ | ʾămittêḵ}, preserving the original’s rhetorical force.
