Exegesis
The causal clause ki-yashar {כִּי־יָשַׁר | kî-yāšar} ‘for it was right’ presents ha-davar {הַדָּבָר | ha-dāvar} ‘the matter’ as the approved action, followed by the prepositional phrase be-einei kol-haam {בְּעֵינֵי כָּל־הָעָם | be-ʿênê kol-hāʿām} ‘in the eyes of all the people,’ the standard Hebrew idiom for communal approval. The placement of justification at the end moves the reader from decision to rationale, reflecting communal deliberation.
