Exegesis
The nouns shucha {שׁוּחָה֙ | šû-ḥāh} ‘pit’ and upakhim {וּפַחִ֖ים | û-pā-ḥîm} ‘snares’ are instruments of entrapment, each linked to purpose by the infinitive lelakhdeni {לְלָכְדֵ֔נִי | lə-lā-ḵdê-nî} ‘to catch me’ and the prepositional phrase leraglai {לְרַגְלָֽי | lə-ra-ḡlāy} ‘for my feet’. The sequence of perfect verbs followed by purpose clauses underscores the certainty and deliberation of the enemy’s schemes.
