Exegesis
Machar {מָחָ֖ר | māḥār} ‘tomorrow’ situates the question in time, while le-emor {לֵאמֹ֣ר | lē-ʾmôr} ‘saying’ introduces the direct speech question mah-zot {מַה־זֹּ֑את | māh-zōṯ} ‘what is this’.
In context — Exodus 13:14
And it shall be, when your son asks you tomorrow, saying “What is this?”, that you shall say to him, “With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slaves.”
