Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect yāšîḇû {יָשִׁ֤יבוּ | yāšîḇû} ‘they will restore’ takes the object chain lī {לִי֙ | lī} ‘to me’ + bêt yiśrāʾēl {בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל | bêt yiśrāʾēl} ‘house of Israel,’ and mamləḵût ʼāḇî {מַמְלְכ֥וּת אָבִֽי | mamləḵût ʼāḇî} ‘kingdom of my father.’ The structure highlights direct discourse, possession, and political expectation through each particle and verb form.
