Exegesis
The result clause kol ha’am yihyeh shalom {כָל־הָעָם יִהְיֶה שָׁלוֹם | kol hā-‘ām yiḥ-yêh šā-lôm} ‘all the people will be at peace’ uses the qal imperfect yihyeh to mark the outcome, with shalom conveying comprehensive well-being. The V–O–S base order and the embedded conditional highlight that communal peace is contingent upon the return of the specified individual.
