Exegesis

The infinitive absolute hā-lō-ḵ {הָל֛וֹךְ | hā-lō-ḵ} intensifies the Qal perfect wə-qā-nî-tá {וְקָנִ֥יתָ | wə-qā-nî-tá}, forming an emphatic command.

In contextJeremiah 19:1

Thus says the LORD : “Go and buy a potter’s earthenware bottle, and take some elders of the people and of the priests.”
