Exegesis
In the second part, vayasimeni {וַיְשִׂימֵ֙נִי֙ | wayyaśśîmenî} with lechetz barur {לְחֵ֣ץ בָּר֔וּר | le-ḥêṣ bārûr} ‘for a polished arrow’ matches the Servant’s speech function and chosen role. The recurring concealment frames divine timing for the Servant’s purpose.
In context — Isaiah 49:2
He made my mouth a sword with a sharp edge; He sheltered me in the shadow of His hand. He made me a polished arrow ; in His quiver He concealed me.
