Exegesis
The participle kore {קֹרֵא | qō-rēʼ} ‘one calling’ functions as the subject of a verbal clause, and the phrase miseir {מִשֵּׂעִיר | mi-sê-ʿîr} ‘from Seir’ locates the speaker geographically.
In context — Isaiah 21:11
The oracle concerning Dumah. Someone calls to me from Seir, “Watchman , what of the night ? Watchman, what of the night?”
