Exegesis
The infinitive lə-haʿālōṯ ʿōlōṯ YHWH {לְֽהַעֲלֹת עֹל֣וֹת יְהוָ֗ה | lə-haʿālōṯ ʿōlōṯ YHWH} ‘to offer burnt offerings of the LORD’ indicates purpose.
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.
