Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bē-ʾôr {בְּא֥וֹר | bē-ʾôr} “in the light” uses the noun in absolute state to convey both physical and metaphorical illumination, and Yə-hō-wāh {יְהוָֽה | Yə-hō-wāh} functions as the source of that light. The sequence of imperatives and the construct address intensify the communal call to journey under divine guidance.
