Exegesis

The prophetic formula neum YHWH Elohei Yisra’el {נְאֻם־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | nə-ʾum Yə-hō-wāh ʾĕ-lō-hē Yiś-rā-ʾēl} closes with divine authority. English syntax preserves Hebrew enumeration and parallel locational phrases to maintain the sense of judgmental scarcity and divine pronouncement.
