Exegesis
The construct chain pəqûḏōṯ bēt {פְּקֻדֹּת בֵּ֣ית | pəqûḏōṯ bēt} ‘oversight of the house’ defines the domain of authority.
The adjuncts bə-simḥāh ū-bə-šîr {בְּשִׂמְחָה וּבְּשִׁיר֑ | bə-simḥāh ū-bə-šîr} ‘with joy and with song’ convey the celebratory setting, and the final clause ʿal yəḏê dāwiḏ {עַ֖ל יְדֵ֥י דָוִֽיד׃ | ʿal yəḏê dāwiḏ} ‘according to David’s instructions’ ties the ritual to David’s temple order. The translation preserves the Hebrew clause sequence and highlights the purpose-result relationships within the ritual context.
