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 context — Jeremiah 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.”
