Exegesis
The verbs yeshottetu {יְשֹׁטְט֥וּ | yəšōṭṭəṯû} ‘will run to and fro’ and ve-tirbeh {וְתִרְבֶּ֥ה | wəṯirbeh} ‘and will increase’ form a result sequence linking human activity with the growth of ha-daʿat {הַדָּֽעַת | haddāʿaṯ} ‘the knowledge.’ The Hebrew verb–subject order places emphasis on action, shifting in English to subject–verb order for clarity. The parallelism underscores progressive revelation as a central theme.
In context — Daniel 12:4
But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end ; many will run to and fro, and knowledge will increase.
