Exegesis
The purpose clause la-milchamah {לַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה | la·mil·ḥā·māh} ‘for battle’ precedes the opposition im-yisrael {עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | ʿim·yiś·rā·ʾēl}, completing the military sequence. The structure underscores the annual rhythm of Near Eastern campaigns and the stepwise progression from mustering to engagement.
