Exegesis
The coordinated list šēm, ū-šə-ʾār, vĕ-nîn, wā-nə-kheḏ {שֵׁם וּשְׁאָר וְנִין וָנֶכֶד | šēm ū-šə-ʾār vĕ-nîn wā-nə-kheḏ} ‘name, remnant, descendant, posterity’ employs cumulative parallelism to emphasize total erasure. By preserving the sequence of “declares/says” and the ordered noun series, the English rendering maintains the Hebrew’s formal intensity and prophetic rhythm.
