Exegesis
The final clause lihyot le-gefen addaret {לִהְי֖וֹת לְגֶ֥פֶן אַדָּֽרֶת | lî-hə-yôt lə-ge-phen ʾad-dā-reṯ} ‘to be a noble vine’ defines the vine’s intended destiny. The Hebrew’s chain of infinitives, linked by vav, conveys a teleological sequence that English renders with parallel infinitival and subordinating constructions to preserve the verse’s goal-oriented flow.
