Exegesis

The paired Hiphil perfects hashbea hisbiya {הַשְׁבֵּעַ הִשְׁבִּ֜יעַ | hašbēaʿ hišbîaʿ} establish a solemn legal structure, while the infinitive absolute pakod {פָּקֹד | pāqōḏ} combined with the imperfect yipkod {יִפְקֹד | yip̄qōḏ} intensifies the certainty of divine visitation.

In context — Exodus 13:19

And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had exacted an oath from the sons of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall bring up my bones from here with you.”
