| 11. Linguistic Exegesis The verse opens with the vav consecutive + Qal imperfect waeddekh {וָאֶעְדֵּךְ | wā-ʾeʿ-dēḵ} ‘and I adorned you’, initiating a sequence of divine actions. The construct noun edi {עֶדִי | ʿe-dî} ‘my ornament’ with pronominal suffix emphasizes personal endowment. A second vav consecutive with waetnah {וָאֶתְּנָה | wā-ʾet-nāh} ‘and I put’ introduces tsemidim {צְמִידִים | ṣə-mî-dîm} ‘bracelets’ as the direct object, followed by the locative al yadayikh marking placement. The coordinate weravid clause with al geronekh completes the series with a necklace on the neck. The repeated vav consecutives create parallelism that highlights the completeness of the divine adornment, while the dual form in yadayikh underscores specificity. English renders the narrative sequence faithfully and clarifies the spatial relationships. |
