Exegesis
The concluding predicate hi hayetah ishah yefat mareh {הִ֣יא הָיְתָ֔ה אִשָּׁ֖ה יְפַ֥ת מַרְאֶֽה | hî’ hā·yā·ṯāh ’îš·šāh yə·p̄aṯ mar·’ê} ‘she was a woman beautiful in appearance’ uses a predicate nominative structure linking the substantive noun ishah ‘woman’ with descriptive modifiers. English translation shifts the Hebrew verb-subject order to subject-verb for clarity while maintaining emphasis on Tamar’s name and beauty.
In context — 2 Samuel 14:27
Three sons and one daughter were born to Absalom . Her name was Tamar; she was a woman beautiful in appearance .
