| 47. Linguistic Exegesis The verse opens with veyedu {וְיֵֽדְעוּ֙ | wə-yē-ḏə-ʿū}, a vav-consecutive plus Qal imperfect that introduces a subordinate clause emphasizing communal realization. The phrase kol-haqahal hazzeh {כָּל־הַקָּהָ֣ל הַזֶּ֔ה | kôl-ha-qā-ḥāl ha-zēh} ‘all this assembly’ forms a fronted constituent to highlight corporate witness. The negation kilo {כִּֽי־לֹ֛א | kî-lō} with the instrumental phrases becherev uvachanith {בְּחֶ֥רֶב וּבַחֲנִ֖ית | bə-ḥe-rêv ū-va-ḥa-nîṯ} ‘by sword and by spear’ systematically rejects human means. The Hiphil imperfect yehoshia {יְהוֹשִׁ֣יעַ | yə-hō-šî-ʿaʿ} ‘he will save’ denotes causative divine action. The Tetragrammaton Yahweh {יְהוָ֑ה | Yə-hō-wāh} as subject underscores divine sovereignty. The prepositional construct laYHWH hamilchamah {לַֽיהוָה֙ הַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה | la-Yə-hō-wāh ha-mil-ḥā-māh} ‘for the battle belongs to the LORD’ asserts cosmic authority. Finally, the vav-consecutive perfect venatan etkhem beyadenu {וְנָתַ֥ן אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּיָדֵֽנוּ | wə-nā-ṭan ’et-khem bə-ya-dé-nū} ‘and He gave you into our hand’ conveys transfer of power. English renderings respect Hebrew word order and theological emphasis on divine agency. |
