Exegesis
In the first speech the compound volitional structure etze {אֵצֵא | ’ēṣēʼ} ‘I will go out’ + vehayiti {וְהָיִיתִי | wəhāyîtî} ‘I will be’ expresses transformation into the predicate noun ruach sheker {רוּחַ שֶׁקֶר | rūaḥ šēqer} ‘deceiving spirit,’ with befi {בְּפִי | bə-pî} marking the sphere ‘in the mouth,’ and kol-neviav {כָּל־נְבִיאָ֑יו | kol-nəwē’āyw} ‘of all his prophets’ in construct with pronominal suffix. In the second speech the subject shifts to YHWH, indicated by the second vayomer, authorizing the deception.
