Exegesis
Within the speech, the coordinated imperatives ketov {כְּתֹ֨ב | kə-ṭōv} “write” and vesim {וְשִׂ֖ם | wə-śîm} “place” govern zot zikaron basefer {זֹ֤את זִכָּרוֹן֙ בַּסֵּ֔פֶר | zōt zik-kā-rôn bas-sē-fer} “this memorial in the scroll” and the idiom beoznei Yehoshua {בְּאָזְנֵ֣י יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ | bə-ʾāz-nê yə-hō-šū-aʿ} “in the ears of Joshua” to convey written and oral transmission. In English, these imperatives are rendered as “Write this in the scroll as a memorial and speak it so that Joshua hears it” (formal) and “Record this as a reminder in a scroll and make Joshua listen closely” (dynamic), preserving dual modes.
