Exegesis
The verse opens with hannavi {הַנָּבִ֞יא | han-nā-ḇîʾ} ‘the prophet’ as the subject, immediately modified by a relative clause with asher {אֲשֶׁר־ | ʾă-šer} + itto {אִתּוֹ | ʾit-tō} ‘who is with him’, positioning khalom {חֲלוֹם | ḥă-lōm} ‘dream’ under the Piel jussive yesapper {יְסַפֵּ֣ר | yə-sap-pēr} ‘let him recount’.
