Exegesis

That clause, avot yō-kə-lū bō-sēr {אָבוֹת יֹאכְלוּ בֹסֶר | ʾă-vōṯ yō-kə-lū bō-sēr} and wə-šinnê hab-bā-nîm ti-qē-nāh {וְשִׁנֵּי הַבָּנִים תִּקְהֶינָה | wə-šinnê hab-bā-nîm ti-qē-nāh}, coordinates parental action with children’s consequence. The use of imperfect verbs across both clauses conveys an ongoing cultural belief in generational responsibility.
