Exegesis
A second spatial phrase betokh kefirim {בְּת֥וֹךְ כְּפִרִ֖ים | bə-ṯōḵ kə-p̄i-rîm} “in the midst of young lions” intensifies proximity before the Piel perfect ribbetah {רִבְּתָ֥ה | rib-bə-ṯā(h)} “she reared,” marking an intensive action toward the object gureha {גּוּרֶֽיהָ | gū-rê-hā} “her cubs.” The alternating spatial settings and parallel verb aspects highlight the lioness’s protective authority and nurturing care within a dangerous environment.

r-b-hresh–bet–heh
