Exegesis
The repetition of karim {כָּרִים | kā-rîm} ‘battering rams,’ along with nouns like peh {פֶּה | pēh} ‘mouth,’ kol {קוֹל | qôl} ‘voice,’ solelah {סוֹלְלָה | sōl-lāh} ‘mound,’ and dayeq {דָּיֵק | dā-yēq} ‘siege wall,’ creates escalating military imagery. The parallel structure conveys deliberate coordination of assault measures by listing each action as an ordered directive.
