Exegesis

The infinitive construct leemor {לֵאמֹר | lēʾēmôr} signals the forthcoming divine command, which unfolds through a series of imperatives—lekh {לֵךְ | lēk}, upitachta {וּפִתַּחְתָּ | û-pi-ttaḥ-tā}, tahalotz {תַּחֲלֹץ | taḥălōṣ}—emphasizing each ritual action.

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.
