Exegesis
The instrumental dative phone megale {φωνῇ μεγάλῃ | phō-nē me-gá-lē} ‘with a great voice’ expresses the manner of the cry, a Semitic-style idiom meaning a very loud, forceful shout. Direct speech then follows: the Aramaic address and question “Eloi eloi lema sabachthani,” preserving Jesus’ original words as a vocative plea and interrogative lament.
Root and etymology

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which is, being translated, “My God , My God, why did You forsake Me?”
