Exegesis
The verse opens with the vav-consecutive vehayah {וְהָיָה | wə-hā-yāh} ‘and it will be’, marking two parallel comparative clauses introduced by the particles ke in ke’esof {כֶּאֱסֹף | kə-’ĕ-sōp} ‘as gathering’ and kî in kimlaket {כִּמְלַקֵּט | kî-mə-lak-kêt} ‘as one gathering’.
In context — Isaiah 17:5
And it will be as when a harvester gathers the standing grain , and with his arm he reaps the ears of grain. And it will be as one who picks up ears of grain in the Valley of Rephaim .
