Exegesis
The Hiphil infinitive construct le-hatsil etkhem {לְהַצִּיל אֶתְכֶם | lə-ḥat-ṣîl ’et-khem} ‘to deliver you’ is followed by the prepositional phrase miyado {מִיָּדֽוֹ | mi-yā-dō} ‘from his hand’. The shift from third-person reference to Hezekiah to direct admonition of the audience heightens the rhetorical challenge.
