Exegesis
ad-yaavor {עַד־יַעֲבֹ֤ר … עַֽד־יַעֲבֹ֖ר | ʿad-ya-ʿa-vōr} creates parallelism, contrasting ammekha {עַמְּךָ֙ | ʿam-me-ḵā} ‘Your people’ with amzu {עַם־ז֥וּ | ʿam-zû} ‘this people’, underscoring divine election.
In context — Exodus 15:16
Terror and dread will fall upon them by the greatness of Your arm; they will be still as a stone, until Your people pass over, O LORD , until the people you have acquired pass over.
