Exegesis
The imperative shimʿu {שִׁמְע֖וּ | šim-ʿū} issues a collective command, and the compound devar-YHWH {דְּבַר־יְהוָה | dᵊ-var-Yə-hō-wāh} serves as the direct object. Hebrew order (address → command → message) heightens urgency, and the maqqef linking devar and YHWH underscores their inseparable unity.
