Exegesis

The speaker’s perfect verb ra’iti {רָאִיתִי | rā-’î-tî} ‘I saw’ takes kol yisra’el {כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל | kāl yiś-rā-’ēl} ‘all Israel’ as its object, modified by the participle nefotzim {נְפוֹצִים | nə-pō-ṣîm} ‘scattered’ and the spatial phrase al heharim {עַל־הֶהָרִים | ʿal hē-hā-rîm} ‘on the mountains’.
