Exegesis
The verse opens with the vav-consecutive imperfect verb veyashav {וישב | wə-šā-ḇ} ‘and he will return’, followed by the vav-consecutive imperfect verb veyasem {וְיָשֵׂ֧ם | wə-yā-śēm} ‘and he will set’, plus the possessive noun panav {פָּנָיו | pā-nāw} ‘his face’—an idiomatic expression denoting focused intent.
