תָּא חֲזֵי
The source witness is unpointed: תא חזי. תא is the imperative ‘come’; חזי is the imperative ‘see.’ In Zohar I 5b it directs attention to the six days of Creation; in Zohar II 27a it directs attention to David’s role as king and judge. The phrase’s discourse function is established from both live contexts, not from a freestanding vocabulary assertion.
