Exegesis
In the response clause, the divine subject YHWH {יְהוָה | yĕ-hō-wāh} and verb ’amar {אָמַר | ’ā-mar} introduce direct discourse, followed by the imperative ’aleh {עֲלֵה | ’ă-lêh} ‘go up’ and ve-hashkhitah {וְהַשְׁחִיתָהּ | wĕ-hash-khê-tāh} ‘and destroy her’, each governing the locative phrase al-ha-aretz hazot {עַל־הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת | ’al-hă-’ā-rĕṣ hă-zôt} ‘against this land’. The shift from interrogative to imperative emphasizes the transition from question to divine command, reflecting the Hebrew use of discourse markers to convey authority and purpose.
