| 23. Linguistic Exegesis The clause structure begins with the Piel imperative shiru {שִׁירוּ | šî-rû} 'sing' directed to laYHWH {לַיהוָה | la-yə-hō-wāh} 'to the LORD'. This is followed by the object phrase kol haaretz {כָּל־הָאָרֶץ | kol hā-ʾā-reṣ} 'all the earth'. A parallel Piel imperative basru {בַּשְּׂרוּ | bas-rû} 'proclaim' creates synonymous parallelism with shiru, linking praise with proclamation. The idiomatic expression miyom el yom {מִיּוֹם־אֶל־יוֹם | mi-yôm ʾel yôm} 'from day to day' functions as a continuous temporal modifier. The construct yeshuato {יְשׁוּעָתוֹ | yə-šû-ʿā-tô} 'his salvation' acts as the genitive complement, specifying the content of proclamation. This balanced structure of worship and proclamation emphasizes the perpetual nature of celebrating and declaring divine salvation. |
