Exegesis
The prepositional phrase al-nibbe’ei {עַֽל־נִבְּאֵ֞י | ʿal·nib·bə·ʾê} ‘against the prophets of’ forms a construct chain with chalomot {חֲלֹמ֥וֹת | ḥă·lō·mōṯ} ‘dreams’, sheqer {שֶׁ֙קֶר֙ | še·qer} ‘falsehood’, and ne’um-YHWH {נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה | nə·ʾum-Yə-hō-wāh} ‘utterance of the LORD’, identifying the target of divine judgment.
