Exegesis
The nominal relative clause et-asher-yōmar-elōhāy-ōtō-’ăḏabbēr {אֶת־אֲשֶׁר־יֹאמַ֥ר אֱלֹהַ֖י אֹת֥וֹ אֲדַבֵּֽר׃ | ʾet-ʾăšer-yōʾmar-ʾĕlōhāy-ʾōṯô-’ăḏabbēr} ‘whatever my God says, that I will speak’ uses the direct object markers et and otō to frame the prophet’s sole message. The Piel stem ’ăḏabbēr conveys an official declarative act, rendered dynamically as “gives me to speak,” reflecting the verb’s formal nuance.
