Exegesis
The series of imperfect negatives velo-yireu {וְלֹא־יִֽירְא֨וּ | wə-lōʾ yîrʾû} ‘and they will not fear’, velo-yehattu {וְלֹא־יֵחַ֛תּוּ | wə-lōʾ yē-ḥat-tû} ‘and they will not be dismayed’, and velo-yippaqedu {וְלֹ֥א יִפָּקֵ֖דוּ | wə-lōʾ yip-pā-qê-ḏû} ‘and they will not be missing’ forms a climactic triad of assurances.
