Exegesis
The noun satan {שָׂטָ֖ן | śāṭān} “adversary” functions as subject, introduced by the preposition ‘al {עַל | ‘al} “against” to create direct opposition toward Yisrael {יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל | yiśrā’ēl} “Israel.”
The direct object marker ’et {אֶת | ’et} marks Dāwīd {דָּוִיד | dāwîḏ} “David” as the recipient.
The infinitive construct limnôt {לִמְנוֹת | limnôt} “to count” specifies the provocation, again preceded by ’et {אֶת | ’et} before Yisrael {יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | yiśrā’ēl} “Israel.” This sequence highlights the adversary’s agency moving from opposition to action.
