Exegesis
The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁ֕ר | ʾă-šer} ‘which’ links to petach shaar {פֶּתַח שַׁעַר | pe-ṯaḥ ša-ʿar} ‘entrance of the gate’, further qualified by ha-harsit {הַֽחַרְסִית | ha-ḥar-sit} ‘the Potsherd’.
A second asher {אֲשֶׁר־ | ʾă-šer} ‘which’ introduces the Piel imperfect adabber {אֲדַבֵּ֥ר | ʾă-da-bēr} ‘I will speak’, completed by the suffix eileikha {אֵלֶיךָ | ʾê-lê-ḵā} ‘to you’. The use of perfect forms as directives combined with layered construct chains establishes precise locational and rhetorical framing for the prophetic message.
In context — Jeremiah 19:2
And you shall go out to the Valley of Ben-Hinnom at the entrance of the Potsherd Gate , and you shall proclaim there the words that I will speak to you.
