Exegesis
The closing phrase veyattira hosfat li {וְיַתִּירָא הוֹסְפַת לִי | və-yat-tî-rāʾ hōs-faṯ lî} combines the emphatic adjective יַתִּירָא “exceeding, surpassing” with the Haphel passive of יסף {יָסַף | yā-sap̄} “to add, increase.” The implied abstract noun (such as “greatness” or “majesty”) carried by יַתִּירָא must be supplied in English, yielding renderings like “surpassing greatness was added to me,” which capture the idea that his restored status not only returns to its former level but is increased beyond it.
