Exegesis
The direct object et-haezor {אֶת־הָ֣אֵז֔וֹר | ʾet-hā-ʾē-zôr} ‘the girdle’ is specified by the relative clause asher tsivitikha letamno sham {אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּיתִ֖יךָ לְטָמְנוֹ־שָֽׁם | ʾăšer ṣiwwîṯîḵā lə-ṭām-nô šām} ‘which I commanded you to hide there,’ maintaining the referential linkage. The Hebrew imperative structure preserves both the force and sequence of the divine commands.
In context — Jeremiah 13:6
And it happened after many days that the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to Perath , and take from there the girdle which I commanded you to hide there.”
