Exegesis
The relative clause asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă‧šer} ‘that’ introduces the content clause containing the independent pronoun anokhi {אָנֹכִי | ʾā‧nō‧ḵî} and the participle dover {דֹּבֵר | dō‧ḇêr} ‘speaking’ with the prepositional suffix elekha {אֵלֶיךָ | ʾê‧lê‧ḵā} ‘to you’. In English, SVO order clarifies the commands and preserves Hebrew nuance through bracketed glosses.
In context — Jonah 3:2
Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and call to her the proclamation that I am speaking to you.
