Exegesis
The clause veniglinu aleihem {וְנִגְלִ֖ינוּ אֲלֵיהֶֽם | wə-nig·lî·nû ʾă·lê·hem} uses a Nifal imperfect with vav-consecutive to convey reflexive disclosure (“we will reveal ourselves”), balancing the narrative’s movement and revelation themes. The shift from Hebrew VSO to English SVO order enhances readability while preserving emphatic sequence.
