Exegesis
Finally, the noun phrase et-mei ha-bereikha ha-tachtonah {אֶת־מֵ֥י הַבְּרֵכָה הַתַּחְתּוֹנָֽה | ʾet-mê hab-brē-ḵā hattakh-to-nāh} ‘the waters of the lower pool’ uses the direct object marker, noun construct, and two definite articles to specify a particular reservoir. In English, subjects, verbs, and objects are reordered into a clear SVO pattern, and the noun-adjective pairing “lower pool” preserves the original descriptive order.
In context — Isaiah 22:9
And you saw the breaches of the city of David , that they were many, and you gathered the waters of the lower pool .
