Exegesis
A triad of prepositional phrases—bepar’oh {בְּפַרְעֹה | bə-pā-rō-’ōh} ‘through Pharaoh’, berikhvo {בְּרִכְבּוֹ | bə-rî-ḵə-vo} ‘through his chariots’, uvefarashav {וּבְפָרָשָׁיו | ū-və-pā-rā-šāw} ‘and through his horsemen’—creates parallelism and builds rhetorical intensity, emphasizing the means of divine glory’s demonstration against Egypt’s military might. The formal translation maintains the Hebrew claim “will know that I am the LORD,” while the dynamic choice of “realize” aims for immediate reader engagement. Formal’s “when I am glorified” preserves passive nuance, whereas dynamic’s “when I show my glory” clarifies active divine agency.

p-r-špeh-resh-shin
