Exegesis
The objects et-hashamayim {אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם | ʾet-ha-šā-ma-yim} ‘the heavens’ and et-haaretz {אֶת־הָאָרֶץ | ʾet-hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘the earth’ are linked by the conjunction vehem {וְהֵם | wə-hêm} ‘and they’, creating a responsive sequence: God answers the heavens, and the heavens answer the earth. This syntactic pattern highlights the cosmic scope of divine restoration.
