Exegesis
The noun dî-nāʾ {דִּינָ֥א | dî-nāʾ} with perfect yǝ-tîb {יְתִ֖ב | yǝ-tîb} frames the judgment scene, and the conjunction vǝ-sî-prīn pǝ-tî-ḥû {וְסִפְרִ֥ין פְּתִֽיחוּ | vǝ-sî-prīn pǝ-tî-ḥû} completes the tribunal imagery as the books are opened. English SVO order preserves the original verb-final and construct emphases.
