Exegesis
YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} functions as subject through the infinitive construct dabbēr {דַּבֵּר | dab-bēr} ‘to speak’, and the suffix of ʿimmî {עִמִּי | ʿim-mî} ‘with me’ underscores the personal nature of the communication. Together, the sequence of imperatives, conjunctions, and infinitives creates a literary rhythm of anticipation for further divine instruction.
