Exegesis

The final Niphal waw-consecutive vayera {וַיֵּרָ֣א | wa-yê-rāʾ} expresses public visibility, qualified by be-gavho {בְּגָבְהוֹ | bə-ḡav-hô} and be-rov daliyotav {בְּרֹב דָּלִיֹּתָיו | bə-rōv dā-lī-yō-tāv}, reinforcing the impact of her branching growth. This structure underscores a progression from endowed strength to exalted stature to conspicuous fruitfulness.
