Exegesis
A series of prepositional phrases—ʾel bə-nē yiś-rā-ʾēl {אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל | ʾel bə-nē yiś-rā-ʾēl}, bə-ʿar-vōt mō-ʾāḇ {בְּעַֽרְבֹ֣ת מוֹאָ֔ב | bə-ʿar-vōt mō-ʾāḇ}, and ʿal yǎr-dēn ye-rē-ḥō {עַ֖ל יַרְדֵּ֥ן יְרֵחֽוֹ | ʿal yǎr-dēn ye-rē-ḥō}—specify the recipients and setting. The structure foregrounds the content of divine instruction before situating it in its historical-geographical context.
