Exegesis
The verse opens with the construct phrase wəḥezwê rēšî ʿal-miškəḇî {וְחֶזְוֵי רֵאשִׁי עַל־מִשְׁכְּבִי | wə-ḥez-wê rē-šî ʿal-miš-kə-ḇî}, literally “and visions of my head upon my bed.” The initial conjunction wə- links this sentence to the preceding narrative, while the absence of an explicit finite verb in this first clause allows it to function as a topical frame. English therefore supplies “These were” or an equivalent copular phrase to form a complete sentence, while preserving the sense that what follows explains the content of those visions. The construct chain ḥezwê rēšî “visions of my head” uses “my head” metonymically for the mind or inner consciousness, and the prepositional phrase ʿal-miškəḇî “upon my bed” locates the experience in the setting of night rest.
