| 14. Linguistic Exegesis The successive perfect with vav consecutive in ve-natash'ti {וְנָטַשְׁתִּ֗י | wə-nā-ṯaš-ṯî} functions as a prophetic future, highlighting decisive divine abandonment. The particle et {אֵת | ʾet} marks the following noun phrase as the definite direct object. The construct of she’erit nachalati {שְׁאֵרִ֣ית נַחֲלָתִ֔י | šeʾ-ê-rîṯ na-ḥă-lā-ṯî} specifies that the remnant belongs to God’s inheritance. The parallel verbs u-netattim be-yad oyeveihem {וּנְתַתִּים בְּיַד אֹיְבֵיהֶם | u-nə-ṯaṯ-tîm bə-yaḏ ʾoy-vê-hem} employ the idiom “give into the hand” to denote total subjugation. Finally, the result clause ve-hayu le-vaz ve-limshissah le-khol oyeveihem {וְהָיוּ לְבַז וְלִמְשִׁסָּה לְכָל־אֹיְבֵיהֶם | wə-hā-yû lə-vaẓ wə-lim-šî-ṣāh lə-ḵol ʾoy-vê-hem} frames comprehensive plunder and spoil, with the repeated lamed preposition underscoring its totalizing effect. |
