Exegesis
The narrative then shifts to worship with two parallel prepositional phrases introducing divine titles: v'leʿillaya barakht {וְלְעִלָּיָא בָּרַכְתְּ | wə-lə-ʿil-lā-yāʾ bā-rakh-te} ‘and to the Most High I blessed’ and v'leḥayyei ʿalma shabbaḥt vehaddart {וְלְחַיֵּי עָלְמָא שַׁבַּחְתְּ וְהַדַּרְתְּ | wə-lə-ḥay-yê ʿāl-māʾ šab-baḥ-te wə-had-dar-te} ‘and to the One who lives forever I praised and I honored.’ The piling up of first person verbs barakht, shabbaḥt, and vehaddart emphasizes an intense, comprehensive response of worship following the restoration of sanity.
