Exegesis
Finally, the Hiphil perfect wehevetah {וְהֵבֵאתָ | wə-hē-ḇē-ṯā} ‘and you shall bring’, with the emphatic attah {אַתָּה | ʾat-tāh}, identifies Moses as the agent who brings the definite matters (et {אֶת | ʾeṯ} marking the object haddevarim {הַדְּבָרִים | had-də-ḇā-rîm} ‘the matters’) el-haelohim {אֶל־הָאֱלֹהִים | ʾel-hā-ʾĕ-lō-hîm} ‘to the God’. This progression from directive through wish to representative commission conveys a structured mediation role in which Hebrew verb forms and word order encode both authority and divine empowerment.
