Exegesis
The second colon mirrors the first: veyadav {וְיָדָיו | wə-yāḏāyw} stands as the subject, and the Hiphil imperfect tashavnah {תָּשֵׁבְנָה | tāšēḇnāh} expresses compelled restitution (“cause to return”). The feminine plural verb form coheres with the grammatical gender of “hands,” underscoring that the repayment is not abstract but enacted.
