| 42. Linguistic Exegesis The opening prepositional phrase veimahem {וְעִמָּהֶם֩ | wə-ʿimmām} “and with them” links the earlier group to Heman {הֵימָ֨ן | hē-mān} and Jeduthun {וִידוּת֜וּן | wi-yə-du-tûn}, marking their collaborative role. The coordinated nouns khatsotserot {חֲצֹצְר֤וֹת | ḥa-ṣō-ṣer-ōt} and umetsiltayim {וּמְצִלְתַּ֙יִם֙ | u-me-ṣil-ta-yim} form a musical instrument pair. The Hiphil participle lemashmiim {לְמַשְׁמִיעִ֔ים | lə-maš-mi-ʿîm} establishes purpose (“to cause to be heard”). The construct chain uklei shir haelohim {וּכְלֵ֖י שִׁ֣יר הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים | u-kə-lê šîr hā-ʾĕ-lō-hîm} denotes sacred dedication of instruments to divine song. Finally, the sequence uvnei yedutun lashaar {וּבְנֵ֥י יְדוּת֖וּן לַשָּֽׁעַר | u-və-nê yə-du-tûn la-šā-ʿar} specifies the sons of Jeduthun positioned at the gate, reflecting hierarchical and locational information. |
