Exegesis

The subsequent vow formula wə-nā-ḏə-rū-nē-der la-yə-hō-wāh wə-šil-lē-mū {וְנָדְרוּ־נֵדֶר לַיהוָה וְשִׁלֵּמוּ | wə-nā-ḏə-rū-nē-der la-yə-hō-wāh wə-šil-lē-mū} ‘and they will vow a vow to the LORD and fulfill it’ closes with a performative action, linking promise and completion. The Hebrew construct chain and perfect forms preserve both historical and prophetic dimensions.
