Exegesis
The temporal clause ukhamoto amar {וּכְמוֹת֣וֹ אָמַר | ū-kə-mō-tō ’ā-mar} ‘and as he was dying, he said’ introduces a jussive parallel: yere {יֵרֶא | yē-re} ‘may He see’ and veyidrosh {וְיִדְרֹשׁ | wə-yiḏ-rō-š} ‘and may He require,’ invoking covenantal justice from the LORD {YHWH}.
In context — 2 Chronicles 24:22
But King Joash did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, the father of Zechariah, had done for him, but he killed his son. And as he was dying, he said, “May the LORD see and require it.”
