Exegesis
The prophetic formula koh-amar {כֹּה־אָמַר | kō-’ā-mar} ‘thus says’ introduces the divine address, here carried by the compound names YHWH Tsevaot {יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת | Yə-hō-wāh tsə-vā-’ōt} and Elohei Yisrael {אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | ʾĕ-lō-hê yis-rā-ʾêl}, anchoring both divine authority and covenant relationship.
