Exegesis

The vav consecutive wā-ʾō-mar {וָאֹמַר | wā-ʾō-mar} ‘then I said’ introduces purpose clauses via the infinitives lišpōḥ {לִשְׁפֹּךְ | liš-pō-ḥ} ‘to pour out’ and ləkallōṯ {לְכַלּוֹת | lə-kal-lōṯ} ‘to complete’, linking divine pronouncement to its consummation.

In contextEzekiel 20:8

But they rebelled against Me and were unwilling to listen to Me; they did not cast away the detestable things of their eyes , nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said that I would pour out My wrath upon them to bring My anger to completion in the midst of the land of Egypt.
