Exegesis

The closing assertion mimmenni peryekha nimtsa {מִמֶּ֖נִּי פֶּרְיְךָ֥ נִמְצָא | mim·men·nî per·yəkhā nim·ṣāʾ} places the prepositional phrase first for emphasis (“From Me”), identifying the speaker as the exclusive source of Ephraim’s fruitfulness; the shift from third person object (“him”) to second person possession (“your fruit”) is retained as a discourse move from description to direct address.
