Exegesis
Construct chains me-aleihem ulo {מֵעֲלֵיהֶם עֻלּוֹ | me-ʿă-ley-hem ʿū-lō} and ve-subbolo me-al shikhmo {וְסֻבֳּלוֹ מֵעַל שִׁכְמ֖וֹ | wə-sub-bō-lō mē-ʿāl šiḵ-mō} employ metaphors of yoke and burden to depict subjugation and its release. The preservation of Hebrew clause order in English underscores the progression from judgment to deliverance.
