Exegesis
The prepositional noun im-kaddishin {עִם־קַדִּישִׁ֑ין | ʿim-qad-dî-šīn} ‘with holy ones’ marks the targets, and ve-yakhla {וְיָכְלָ֖ה | wə-yāḵ-lā(h)} ‘and prevailed’ with le-hon {לְהֽוֹן | lə-hōn} ‘against them’ conveys its temporary dominance. The feminine verb forms agree with qarna, reinforcing grammatical consistency while the sequence from sight to conflict to outcome drives the narrative forward.
