Exegesis
The summary clause az ṭōḇ lō {אָ֖ז ט֥וֹב לֽוֹ | ʾāz ṭōḇ lō} ‘then it was well for him’ uses the adverb az {אָ֖ז | ʾāz} to signal positive outcome. Hebrew word order foregrounds the interrogative verb and sequences perfect verbs with waw to underscore the father’s exemplary actions. The translation preserves the challenge, causal relation, and parallelism.
In context — Jeremiah 22:15
Will you reign because you are striving in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness ? Then it was well for him.
