Exegesis
The clause baet hahi {בָּעֵת הַהִיא | bāʿēt hāhî} ‘at that time’ sets the narrative background, while dibber {דִּבֶּר | dib-bēr} ‘he spoke’ introduces direct divine speech.
In context — Isaiah 20:2
At that time the LORD spoke by the hand of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth from your loins, and take off your sandals from your feet.” And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
