Exegesis

The temporal phrase u-vishnat batzoret {וּבִשְׁנַ֤ת בַּצֹּ֙רֶת֙ | ū-viš-naṯ ba-ṣō-reṯ} ‘and in the year of drought’ sets the scene, and the consecutive negatives lo yida’ag {לֹ֣א יִדְאָ֔ג | lōʾ yid-ʾāg} and ve-lo yamish {וְלֹ֥א יָמִ֖ישׁ | wə-lōʾ yā-mîš} frame an ongoing refusal to slacken, culminating in the infinitive me-asot peri {מֵעֲשׂ֥וֹת פֶּֽרִי | mē-ʿă-sōṯ pē-rî} ‘from producing fruit’, rendered idiomatically as “ceasing to yield fruit.” The verse’s parallelism and repetition underscore steadfast resilience and prosperity.
