Exegesis

A sequence of perfect verbs—venasa anaf {וְנָשָׂא עָנָף | wə-nā-śāʼ ʿā-nāp} ‘it will send forth a branch’, ve’asa peri {וְעָשָׂה פֶרִי | wə-ʿā-sāh pē-rī} ‘and make fruit’, vehayah le’erez addir {וְהָיָה לְאֶרֶז אַדִּיר | wə-hā-yāh lə-ʾē-rēz ’aḏ-ḏîr} ‘and it will become a mighty cedar’—creates a stepwise portrayal of growth and transformation.
