Exegesis
The demonstrative eleh hadevarim {אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים | ʾêl-leh had-də-ḇā-rîm} ‘these are the words’ introduces the forthcoming divine instructions, while the relative clause asher tedabber {אֲשֶׁר תְּדַבֵּר | ʾă-šer tə-dab-bēr} ‘that you shall speak’ assigns Moses as the mediator.
In context — Exodus 19:6
You will be for Me a kingdom of priests and a nation that is holy. These are the words you shall speak to the sons of Israel.
