Exegesis
The intensity modifier be-kol-oz {בְּכָל־עֹז | bə-ḵāl-ʿōz} functions adverbially, emphasizing wholehearted participation. What follows is a rhythmic chain of prepositional phrases introduced by repeated vav and bet (“and with …”), a form of polysyndeton that creates a cumulative, processional feel and highlights the breadth of musical resources: vocal pieces (songs) alongside strings, percussion, and culminating wind instruments, producing a crescendo-like listing that matches the public, celebratory setting.
