| 22. Linguistic Exegesis The verse opens with ve-hinneh {וְהִנֵּה | və-hinnē} ‘and behold’, a demonstrative marker focusing on divine preservation. The Niphal perfect noterah {נוֹתְרָה | nōtərāh} ‘remains’ underscores passive survival by divine action. The construct chain peletah hamutsaiim {פְּלֵטָה הַֽמּוּצָאִ֮ם | pəleṭāh hammūṣāʾîm} links ‘remnant’ with those ‘brought out’. The asyndetic sequence hinnam yotzim aleikhem {הִנָּם יוֹצְאִים אֲלֵיכֶם | hinnām yōṣēʾîm ʾālēkhem} vividly depicts the survivors’ approach. The coordinated perfects ureʾītem {וּרְאִיתֶם | ūreʾītem} ‘and you will see’ and veniḥamtem {וְנִחַמְתֶּם | wəniḥamtem} ‘and you will be comforted’ form a protasis–apodosis linking perception and consolation. The repeated Hiphil perfect hevēʾetī {הֵבֵאתִי | hevēʾetī} frames divine judgment as a completed act, reinforcing its certainty and its purpose in bringing comfort. |
