Exegesis
Finally, wə-yad kol hā-ʿām bā-ʾaḥărōnāh {וְיַד כָּל־הָעָם בָּאַחֲרֹנָה | wə-yad kol hā-ʿām bā-ʾa-ḥăr-ō-nāh} ‘and the hand of all the people at the last’ extends participation to the entire community. The sequential clauses are rendered in English with “must,” “shall be first,” and “shall follow” to mirror the Hebrew procedural emphasis.
