| 29. Linguistic Exegesis The emphatic connective vav-gam {וְגַם | wə-ɡam} “and also” introduces a solemn declaration. The compound subject netsach Yisrael {נֵצַח יִשְׂרָאֵל | neṣāḥ yiśrāʾēl} “Glory of Israel” underscores divine steadfastness. The paired imperfect verbs lo yishaqer {לֹא יְשַׁקֵּר | lōʾ yishaqēr} and ve-lo yinnāḥēm {וְלֹא יִנָּחֵ֑ם | wə-lōʾ yinnāḥēm} use negation to affirm continuous truthfulness and unchanging resolve. The causal clause ki lo adam hu lə-hinnāḥēm {כִּי לֹא אָדָם ה֖וּא לְהִנָּחֵֽם | kî lōʾ ʾāḏām hûʾ lə-hinnāḥēm} contrasts divine immutability with human frailty by linking “not a man” to the inability “to relent.” English word order retains Hebrew emphasis on divine veracity and unalterable purpose. |
