Exegesis
The prepositional phrases el darom {אֶל־דָּרוֹם | ʾel-dā-rōm} ‘to the south’ and el yaar {אֶל־יַעַר | ʾel-ya-ʿar} ‘to the forest’ direct the oracle to specific locations, while the construct ha-sadeh negev {הַשָּׂדֶה נֶגֶב | ha-śā-deh ne-gev} ‘the field of the Negev’ anchors the prophecy in the southern desert. The cumulative sequence of imperatives and destinations underscores the prophet’s movement from orientation to proclamation.
