Exegesis
The demonstratives elleh {אֵלֶּה | ʾêl-leh} ‘these’ and ve-elleh {וְאֵלֶּה | wə-ʾêl-leh} ‘and these’ introduce the two destinies marked by lechayyei olam {לְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם | lə-ḥay-yê ʿō-lām} ‘to life of eternity’ and lacharafot lediron olam {לַחֲרָפוֹת לְדִרְא֥וֹן עוֹלָֽם | la-ḥă-rā-ḇōṯ lə-dir-ʾôn ʿō-lām} ‘to disgrace and abhorrence of eternity.’ The parallelism and chiastic structure underscore the eschatological contrast between reward and judgment.
