Exegesis
The phrases ha-yam u-mĕlōʾō {הַיָּם וּמְלוֹא֔וֹ | hā-yām û-mĕlōʾō} “the sea and its fullness” and ha-sadeh wə-ḵāl ’ăšer bō {הַשָּׂדֶה וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ | ha-sāḏeh wə-ḵāl ’ăšer bō} “the field and all that is in it” form a parallel chiastic structure, emphasizing the universal rejoicing of creation. The Hebrew jussives are rendered as English imperatives to preserve the commanding tone, and the coordination of fullness and contents underscores the inclusiveness of nature’s praise.
