Exegesis
The directional pairs miyyeminām and u-missmō’ēlām {מִימִינָם וּמִשְּׂמֹאלָם | mi-yē-mi-nām u-mi-sᵉ-mō-’ā-lām} reinforce total enclosure, emphasizing God’s safeguarding. The English rendering mirrors Hebrew word order to preserve narrative intensity and theological emphasis.
In context — Exodus 14:22
The Israelites walked through the midst of the sea on dry ground, and the waters became a wall for them on their right and on their left.
