Exegesis
The repeated prepositional phrases le-Ithiel {לְאִיתִיאֵל | lə-ʼîṯiʼēl} ‘to Ithiel’ create rhetorical emphasis or inclusio before concluding with ve-ukhal {וְאֻכָּל | wə-ʼûḵāl} ‘and Ucal’, marking the addressees. The sequence conforms to a formal prophetic heading pattern.
In context — Proverbs 30:1
The words of Agur, son of Yakeh, the oracle and the utterance of the man to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal.
