Exegesis
The participle hadober {הַדֹּבֵר | had-dō-vēr} ‘the one speaking’ stands in apposition, identifying YHWH as the speaker, and the prepositional phrase eleha {אֵלֶיהָ | ʾê-lê-hā} ‘to her’ affirms a direct address.
In context — Genesis 16:13
So she called the name of the LORD who was speaking to her, “You are God who sees me,” for she said, “Have I even here seen after the One who sees me?”
