Exegesis

In the quoted command, hapokh {הֲפֹךְ | hăpōḵ} places the imperative first for urgency, and vehotseitani {וְהוֹצֵאתַנִי | wəhoṣēʾṯānî} follows as the requested action (“bring me out”), while ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the stated reason, hacholeiti {הָחֳלֵיתִי | hāḥŏlēṯî}, presenting the king’s condition as the immediate cause for withdrawal.
