Exegesis
The noun–demonstrative sequence ha-ṭōvāh ha-ẓō’ōṯ {הַטּוֹבָה הַזֹּאת | ha-ṭōvāh ha-ẓō’ōṯ} ‘this good thing’ uses adjective + pronoun for specificity, with the adjective preceding the demonstrative to foreground quality. The structure builds theological emphasis by affirming divine identity before revealing the promise, and English renderings mirror these clause boundaries to preserve the original focus.
