Exegesis
Rāmōṯ Gilə‘āḏ {רָמֹת גִּלְעָד | rā-mōṯ gil-‘ā-ḏ} specifies the objective. In response, three parallel comparative clauses (kāmônî…kāmôḵā, kĕ‘ammî…kĕ‘ammĕḵā, kĕsûsāy…kĕsûsteḵā) form a chiastic progression from person to nation to cavalry, underscoring complete solidarity. The English reconstructions preserve this repetition to reflect its force.
