Exegesis

The sequence then shifts to a more complex nominal construction: ûmāzôn {וּמָז֥וֹן | û-mā-zōn} “and food, provision” is followed by the prepositional phrase ləḵol-bēh {לְכֹֽל־בֵּהּ | lə-ḵol-bēh} “for all in it.” This compresses “there was provision for all that was in it” into a succinct phrase, emphasizing universal supply rather than specifying the individual beneficiaries. The construct-plus-suffix structure within ləḵol-bēh encodes the relationship “all who were in it” in tightly packed morphology rather than through a separate relative clause.
