| 27. Linguistic Exegesis The verse uses a merism of three parallel constructs—veshivtekha {וְשִׁבְתְּךָ֛ | wə-šib-tə-ḵā} ‘your sitting’, vetzetekha {וְצֵאתְךָ֥ | wə-ṣē-ʾət-ḵā} ‘your going out’, and uvoakha {וּבֹאֲךָ֖ | u-ḇō-ʾă-ḵā} ‘your coming in’—linked by vav conjunctions to denote totality of actions. The verb yadati {יָדַעְתִּי | yā-dā-‘-tî} ‘I have known’ is a qal perfect expressing completed, comprehensive divine knowledge. The direct object marker veet {וְאֵת | wə-ʾêṯ} introduces hitragezkha {הִתְרַגֶּזְךָ֥ | hit-rag-gez-ḵā} ‘your raging’, a hitpael infinitive construct indicating reflexive intensification of anger. The prepositional suffix in elai {אֵלָי | ʾê-lāy} personalizes the action toward the speaker. The English rendering preserves the sequence while combining parallel elements for readability and maintaining the cumulative force of divine omniscience over all human actions. |
