Exegesis
The imperative hēʾānaḥ {הֵֽאָנַ֑ח | hēʾānaḥ} ‘sigh/groan’ initiates the action, while the following manner phrase bə-šivrôn māṯnayim {בְּשִׁבְר֤וֹן מָתְנַ֙יִם֙ | bə-šivrôn māṯnayim} ‘with breaking of loins’ uses a construct chain to compress the image of bodily collapse into a single unit.
