Exegesis
The origin phrase min bēt ’ôḇēḏ-’ĕḏōm {מִן־בֵּ֥ית עֹבֵד־אֱדֹ֖ם | min bēt ’ō-vēḏ-’e-dōm} ‘from the house of Obed-Edom’ specifies the source, and the prepositional phrase bəśimḥāh {בְּשִׂמְחָה | bə-śim-ḥāh} ‘with joy’ concludes the clause, underscoring the celebratory tone. English renders the extensive Hebrew phrase in two clauses to maintain clarity while preserving the theological emphasis.
