| 19. Linguistic Exegesis The verse opens with a direct address to Yahweh {יְהוָ֕ה | Yə-hō-wāh}, followed by baavur {בַּעֲב֤וּר | ba-ʿă-vūr} ‘for the sake of’, then avdekha {עַבְדְּךָ֙ | ʿa-vəd-kha} ‘your servant’ and ukelivekha {וּֽכְלִבְּךָ֔ | ū-kə-liv-bə-kha} ‘according to your heart’, establishing motivation and intent. The Qal perfect verb asita {עָשִׂ֕יתָ | ʿā-sî-ṯā} conveys completed divine action. Two accusative objects marked by et {אֵ֥ת | ʾet} frame the noun kol-hagedulah {כָּל־הַגְּדוּלָּ֖ה | kol hă-ḡə-du-lāh}, emphasizing totality, and the infinitive lehodia {לְהֹדִ֖יעַ | lə-hō-ḏî-yaʿ} introduces a purpose clause governing et-kol-hagedulot {אֶת־כָּל־הַגְּדֻלּֽוֹת | ʾet-kol hă-ḡə-du-lōt}. This structure of cause (“for the sake of…”) followed by purpose (“to make known…”) highlights the intentional revelation of divine deeds. |
