Exegesis
Amen {אָמֵ֔ן | āmēn} functions as communal affirmation, immediately followed by ve-hallel {וְהַלֵּ֖ל | wə-hallēl}, a Pi‘el imperative calling for active praise. English renders the merism as “from everlasting to everlasting,” preserves the narrative sequence with “Then,” and maintains the emphatic imperative for praise.
Root and etymology
ʼ-m-naleph–mem–nun
“to confirm”
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:36
Blessed be the LORD , the God of Israel , from everlasting to everlasting. And all the people said, “Amen,” and gave praise to the LORD.
