Exegesis
The temporal phrase bə-ʾa-ḥă-rîṯ ha-yā-mîm {בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים | bə-ʾa-ḥă-rîṯ ha-yā-mîm} “in the latter days” introduces an eschatological horizon, and the concluding clause tit-bō-ne-nū bāh bîn-nāh {תִּתְבּוֹנְנוּ בָּהּ בִּינָה | tit-bō-ne-nū bāh bîn-nāh} “you will understand it with insight” leverages the root ב־י־נ to emphasize precise future discernment.
