Exegesis
The final clause veshaltaneh ʿim-dar vedar {וְשָׁלְטָנֵהּ עִם־דָּר וְדָר | wə-šālṭānêh ʿim-dār wə-dār} is another nominal clause without an explicit verb. The phrase šaltan ‘dominion’ with suffix forms the subject, and the prepositional phrase ʿim-dar vedar ‘with generation and generation’ functions adverbially, conveying duration across time. English supplies the preposition ‘from’ and repeats ‘generation’ in a coordinated prepositional phrase (‘from generation to generation’) to represent the idiomatic Aramaic repetition while preserving the sense of continual rule across all ages.
