Exegesis
The demonstrative hinneh {הִנֵּה | hinnēh} ‘behold’ introduces an emphatic enumeration of adversaries—bnei-ammon {בְנֵי־עַמּוֹן | bənê-ʿammôn} ‘sons of Ammon’, umoav {וּמוֹאָב | ûmō-ʾāv} ‘Moab’, and veharseir {וְהַר־שֵׂעִ֗יר | wə-har-sê-ʿîr} ‘Mount Seir’—marked by consecutive waw conjunctions for cumulative force.
