Exegesis
The imperative dabber {דַּבֵּר֮ | dabber} ‘speak’ governs the direct object mōšēh {מֹשֶׁ֗ה | mōšēh} ‘to Moses’ and the indirect injunction to ʾāharōn ʾāḥîkā {אַהֲרֹ֣ן אָחִיךָ֒ | ʾāharōn ʾāḥîkā} ‘to Aaron your brother’.
Root and etymology
“Aaron”
In context — Leviticus 16:2
And the LORD said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron your brother that he must not enter at any time into the sanctuary inside the curtain, before the atonement cover that is on the ark, so that he will not die; for I will appear in the cloud upon the atonement cover.”
