Exegesis
The sequence vechen amrin lah {וְכֵן אָמְרִין לַ֔הּ | wə-ḵên ’ăm-rîn la-h} ‘and thus they said to it’ frames direct speech, with imperatives kumi akhuli {ק֥וּמִֽי אֲכֻ֖לִי | kû-mî ’ăḵu-lî} ‘arise, devour’ conveying urgent command. This structure preserves the vision’s rhythm, linking form, posture, and command in the apocalyptic narrative.
