Exegesis
The next clause uvoser gomel yihyeh nitsah {וּבֹסֶר גֹּמֵל יִהְיֶה נִצָּה | û-bō-ser gō-mêl yih-yeh niṣ-ṣāh} ‘and-unripe-grape ripening will-be bud’ compresses process into a snapshot: the participle gōmêl portrays ripening in progress, while yihyeh links it to the emergent stage nitsah, emphasizing “just before fruition.”
In context — Isaiah 18:5
For before the harvest, when the blossom is complete and the unripe grape is ripening, it will be a bud; He will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and the tendrils He will remove and lop off.
