Exegesis
The verse opens with the vav-consecutive perfect form vaʾamartem {וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֗ם | vaʾa-martem} ‘and you shall say’, which introduces direct speech marked by the formula ko ʾamar hamelekh {כֹּה אָמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ | kô ʾāmar hameleḵ} ‘thus says the king’. This framing grants authority to the imperatives that follow.
