Exegesis
Moses’ response is marked by wayyaggēḏ Mosheh ʾeṯ-dibərê hāʿām ʾel-Yə-hō-wāh {וַיַּגֵּד מֹשֶׁה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הָעָם אֶל־יְהוָה | wayyaggēḏ mōšeh ʾeṯ-dibərê hāʿām ʾel-Yə-hō-wāh}, where ʾeṯ highlights “the words of the people” and frames Moses as intermediary conveying Israel’s message back to the Divine.
In context — Exodus 19:9
And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to You in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with You and also believe You forever.” Then Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD.
