Exegesis
The final lemor {לֵאמֹר | lē-mōr} ‘to say’ functions as a fixed quotative device that formally introduces the direct speech that follows in the next verse. In English, the formal rendering keeps the Hebrew movement “came to me” to mirror the revelation-arrival metaphor, while the dynamic rendering recasts the idiom as “spoke to me” to express the same communicative event in a more immediate English predicate while still preparing for the quoted message.
