Divine communication often arrives with a distinct rhythm, sometimes pausing before the core message is delivered. In this instance, the divine address acts as an immediate and direct opening to the instructions given to Moses.
The physical layout of the written text mirrors this continuous flow. According to the scribal tradition, there is an absolute connection between the opening declaration of God speaking and the subsequent command. The text is written without any spaces or paragraph breaks, creating a seamless transition from the moment God initiates the conversation to the actual content of His message that follows immediately afterward [מנחת שי].
