Exegesis
The causative ve-hippaltiw {וְהִפַּלְתִּ֥יו | wə-hip-pal-tîw} ‘and I will cause him to fall’ introduces divine agency, closed by the instrumental ba-cherev {בַּחֶ֖רֶב | ba-ḥe-rev} ‘by the sword’ and the locative be-artso {בְּאַרְצֽוֹ | bə-ʾar-ṣō} ‘in his land’. This structure emphasizes progressive divine intervention leading to judgment.
