Exegesis
Attention shifts to divine vindication in the Nifal perfect veyikkabedah {וְאִכָּבְדָה | wə-yiqqabbədāh} ‘and I will be glorified’, followed by the distributive prepositional phrases: beparoeh {בְּפַרְעֹה | bə-parʿōh} ‘through Pharaoh’, uv-kol-chelo {וּבְכָל־חֵילוֹ | ū-bə-ḵōl-ḥēlō} ‘through all his army’, berikhvo {בְּרִכְבּוֹ | bə-riḵbō} ‘through his chariots’, and uv-parashav {וּבְפָרָשָׁיו | ū-bə-parāšāw} ‘through his horsemen’. The interplay of vav-consecutives and prepositional lists creates a causal progression that highlights divine sovereignty and human response.
