Exegesis
The second clause begins with belachmo {בְּלַחְמ֖וֹ | bə·lă·ḥmō} ‘with his bread’ and the Piel perfect kiddemu {קִדְּמ֥וּ | qiḏ·mə·wû} ‘they met’, underscoring the reception of the noded {נֹדֵֽד | nō·ḏēḏ} ‘wanderer’. The parallel structure of water and bread provisions, combined with infinitive and perfect verb forms, creates an emphatic instructional tone conveyed by English imperatives.
In context — Isaiah 21:14
Bring water to the thirsty, inhabitants of the land of Tema ; meet the fugitive with bread.
