Exegesis
The verse then unfolds as a triad of coordinated prepositional phrases marked by min ‘from’: me-atzbekha {מֵעָצְבְּךָ | mē-ʿāṣbəḵā} ‘from your pain,’ u-meragzekha {וּמֵרָגְזֶךָ | ū-mē-rāgzeḵā} ‘and from your agitation,’ and u-min-ha-avodah ha-kashah {וּמִן־הָעֲבֹדָה הַקָּשָׁה | ū-min-hā-ʿăvōdāh haq-qāšāh} ‘and from the harsh labor.’ This stacked parallelism gives cumulative force, portraying rest as comprehensive release from inner distress and external oppression.
