Exegesis
The noun neʾum {נְאֻם | nə-ʾum} ‘declaration’ introduces a divine utterance, followed by the compound title Adonai YHWH {אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֽה | ʾă-dō-nāy Yə-hō-wāh}, which combines lordship and covenantal sovereignty. The em-dashes replicate Hebrew pauses, preserving the verse’s rhythm and rhetorical impact.
