Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase al-arugot tsimchah {עַל־עֲרֻגֹת צִמְחָהּ | ʿalʿărugōṯ ṣimḥāh} ‘on the beds of its growth’ underscores the contrast between cultivation and abrupt destruction. The translation preserves both interrogative momentum and vivid horticultural imagery to convey urgency and fragility.
