Exegesis
The verse opens with the exclamatory sequence ʾatohi kema rabrevin {אָתוֹהִי כְּמָה רַבְרְבִין | ʾāṯôhî kəmā rabrebîn} ‘His signs, how great’, where the adverb kema {כְּמָה | kəmā} ‘how’ combines with the plural adjective rabrevin {רַבְרְבִין | rabrebîn} ‘great’ to express strong admiration rather than a genuine question.
