Exegesis
The idiom velo-sar yamin u-smol {וְלֹא־סָר יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאול | wəlōʾ-sār yāmîn ū-səmōʾōl} ‘and did not turn aside to the right or to the left’ uses directional terms metaphorically for complete fidelity. English converts Hebrew VSO to SVO while preserving the connective chain and idiomatic force to highlight unwavering commitment.
