Exegesis
The infinitive lê-ʾā-môr {לֵאמֹר | lê-ʾā-môr} ‘saying’ introduces direct speech, realized by the interrogative Hiphil perfect hă-mit-têm {הֲמִתֶּם | hă-mit-têm} ‘Have you killed?’ as an accusatory challenge.
In context — Numbers 16:41
On the next day, all the congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of the LORD .”
