Exegesis
Peratah {פְּרָ֔תָה | pərāṯā(h)} with the directional heh marks the Euphrates as the destination, and the final imperative vetomnehu {וְטָמְנֵ֥הוּ | wəṭāmnēhû} ‘hide it’ directs placing the belt sham {שָׁ֖ם | šām} ‘there’ in binqiq hasālaʿ {בִּנְקִ֥יק הַסָּֽלַע | binqîq hasālaʿ} ‘a cleft in the rock.’ The Hebrew syntax emphasizes immediacy and the physical reality of the prophetic symbol through stark imperatives and precise locative expressions.
Root and etymology
m-n-hmem–nun–heh

In context — Jeremiah 13:4
