Exegesis

The clause hūʾ yaggīḏ lāḵ māh-yihyēh la-nāʿār {הוּא יַגִּיד לָךְ מַה־יִהְיֶה לַנָּעַר | hūʾ yag-gīḏ lāḵ māh-yih-hyēh la-nāʿ-ār} forms a subject-verb-indirect-object-result structure, literally ‘he will tell to you what will be to the boy’. In English the order is shifted to SVO for clarity while preserving the Hebrew sequence.
