Exegesis
Three coordinated prepositional phrases qualify this mandate: bə·yir·ʾat YHWH {בְּיִרְאַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה | bə·yir·ʾát Yə·hō·wāh} “in the fear of the LORD,”bə·’ĕmū·nāh {בֶּאֱמוּנָ֖ה | bə·ʾĕ·mū·nāh} “in faithfulness,” and u·bə·lē·ḇāḇ šā·lēm {וּבְלֵבָ֥ב שָׁלֵֽם | u·bə·lē·ḇāḇ šā·lēm} “and in a whole heart.” The parallelism underscores moral reverence, ethical fidelity, and wholehearted devotion.
In context — 2 Chronicles 19:9
He commanded them, saying, “This is how you shall act: in the fear of the LORD , in faithfulness, and with a whole heart .”
