Exegesis
The direct object marker ʾēṯ {אֶֽת־ | ʾēṯ} introduces Jeremiah {יִרְמְיָ֔הוּ | yir-mə-yā-hū}, followed by the Niphal perfect nib-bāʾ {נִבָּ֖א | nib-bāʾ} ‘he prophesied’.
A second ʾēṯ {אֶת־ | ʾēṯ} leads into ha-də-vā-rīm hā-ʾēl-leh {הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה | ha-də-vā-rīm hā-ʾēl-leh} ‘these words’, specifying content. English SVO order clarifies roles and highlights Jeremiah’s prophetic activity within the sacred setting.
