Exegesis
The heraldic particle koh {כֹּה | kō} ‘thus’ and Qal perfect amar {אָמַר | ʾāmar} ‘says’ introduce the divine word, with the compound title Adonai YHWH {אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה | ʾă-ḏōnāy Yəhōwāh} ‘the Lord GOD’ underscoring authority.
In context — Ezekiel 20:3
Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, “Thus says the Lord GOD : Is it to inquire of Me that you have come? As I live , I will not be inquired of by you, declares the Lord GOD.”
