| 17. Linguistic Exegesis The verse begins with the coordinated verbs tevi’emo {תְּבִאֵ֗מוֹ | tə-vî-ʾê-mō} ‘you will bring them in’ and vetita’emo {וְתִטָּעֵ֙מוֹ֙ | wə-ṭî-ṭā-ʿê-mō} ‘and you will plant them’, creating parallelism that emphasizes divine relocation and establishment. The locative phrase behar {בְּהַ֣ר | bə-hă-r} ‘on the mountain’ followed by the construct chain nachalateka {נַחֲלָֽתְךָ֔ | na-ḥă-lā-ṯe-ḵā} ‘of your inheritance’ delineates the promised territory. The noun makhon leshivteka {מָכ֧וֹן לְשִׁבְתְּךָ֛ | mā-ḵōn lĕ-šiv-ṯĕ-ḵā} ‘place for Your dwelling’ portrays God’s intended residence among His people. The perfect verb pa’alta {פָּעַ֖לְתָּ | p̣ā-ʿal-tā} ‘You made’ introduces the locative phrases into the result clause, with the noun mikdash {מִקְּדָ֕שׁ | miq-qā-ḏā-š} ‘sanctuary’ and the perfect konennu {כוֹנְנ֥וּ | kōn-nə-nū} ‘have established’ with subject yadekha {יָדֶֽיךָ | yā-ḏé-ḵā}, highlighting the completed divine act and covenantal presence, balanced with Hebrew parallelism and English readability. |
