Exegesis
A parallel clause introduced by va-asher {וַאֲשֶׁר | wa-ʾă-šer} ‘and who’ with devari {דְּבָרִי | də-ḇā-rî} ‘my word’ employs the Piel jussive yedabber {יְדַבֵּ֥ר | yə-dab-bēr} ‘let him speak’, creating chiasmic balance between visionary dreams and the divine word.
Root and etymology
ʾ-šaleph–shin
“fire”
In context — Jeremiah 23:28
The prophet who has a dream should tell the dream; but he who has my word should speak my word in truth. What has chaff to do with grain? says the LORD .
