'Saying' in the Bible

The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

This is what the Lord has said: You are he of whom I gave them word in earlier times by my servants, the prophets of Israel, who in those days went on saying, year after year, that I would make you come up against them.

And Yahweh said, "Son of man, set your heart and look with your eyes and with your ears hear {everything} I [am] saying [to] you concerning all the statutes of the temple of Yahweh and concerning all its laws, and you must listen [with] your heart concerning the entrance of the temple with all of [the] exits of the sanctuary.
