Exegesis
The closing phrase wə-ʿal-dā-wîd ʾē-phōd bād {וְעַל־דָּוִד אֵפוֹד בָּד} “and upon David {was} an ephod of linen” emphasizes the sacred nature of his vestment. Hebrew word order groups participants by function, and the repetition of key terms creates parallelism reflected in the English structure.
