Exegesis
The paired expressions shoresh lematah {שֹׁרֶשׁ לְמָטָּה | šō-rêš lə-ma-ṭṭā(h)} and peri lema’alah {פְרִי לְמָעְלָה | pə-rî lə-ma-‘ā-lā(h)} create a parallel directional structure, contrasting hidden foundation growth downward with visible blessing upward, thereby emphasizing both foundational resilience and manifest restoration.
In context — 2 Kings 19:30
And the remnant of the house of Judah that has escaped will again take root downward and bear fruit upward.
