Exegesis
Finally, the negative particle lo {לֹא |lōʾ} with the niphal imperfect yik-ka-re-a {יִקָּרֵעַ |yiqqārēʾa} forms a result clause to prevent damage. This sequence of nominal phrases, simile, and result clause exemplifies Hebrew parataxis rendered as a unified descriptive statement emphasizing durability.
