| 19. Linguistic Exegesis vehamshorerim {וְהַמְשֹׁ֣רְרִ֔ים | vĕhamšôrêrîm} ‘and the singers’ introduces the trio in apposition. The construct chain bimṣiltāyim {בִּמְצִלְתַּ֥יִם | bimṣiltāyim} ‘cymbals’ + nəḥôšeṯ {נְחֹשֶׁת | nəḥôšeṯ} ‘of bronze’ specifies instrument and material. The Hiphil infinitive ləhašmîaʿ {לְהַשְׁמִֽיעַ | ləhašmîaʿ} ‘to make heard’ occupies the clause-final position to express purpose, which English renders with a corresponding purpose clause. |
