Exegesis
The prepositional chain minnōgāh mimmāṭār {מִנֹּ֥גַהּ מִמָּטָ֖ר | minnōgāh mimmāṭār} ‘from brightness from rain’ conveys causal sequence, culminating in dešě mê’āreṣ {דֶּ֥שֶׁא מֵאָֽרֶץ | dešě mê’āreṣ} ‘grass from earth’. The progression from light to growth and the parallelism enhance the vivid natural metaphor.
In context — 2 Samuel 23:4
And he shall be like the light of morning when the sun shines on a cloudless dawn; from the brightness after rain comes grass from the earth.
