Exegesis

The Niphal perfect verb neʿeṣav {נֶעֱצַב | ne-ʿe-ṣab} ‘was grieved’ centers the emotional state of the agent in the clause ʿalbenô {עַל־בְּנוֹ | ʿal-bə-nô} ‘over his son’. This structure preserves the Hebrew result–cause–statement pattern, conveying both the communal and personal dimensions of the narrative.
