| 26. Linguistic Exegesis The discourse marker vegam {וְגַם־ | wə-ḡam} ‘and also’ adds intensification to the divine decree. The fronted pronoun ani {אֲנִי | ʾă-nî} highlights the divine agent. The vav-consecutive with Qal perfect in khasafti {חָשַׂפְתִּי | ḥā-śap̄-tî} denotes a past action with ongoing effect. The construct pair shulayikh {שׁוּלַיִךְ | šû-lay-yiḵ} ‘your skirts’ and panayikh {פָּנָיִךְ | pā-nā-yiḵ} ‘your face’ forms a vivid idiom of exposure. The phrase ve-nir’ah {וְנִרְאָה | wə-nir-ʾāh} introduces a passive result, foregrounding kelonekh {קְלוֹנֵךְ | qə-lō-nēḵ} ‘your shame’ as the inevitable outcome. |
