Exegesis
The construct chain et ledetana {עֵת לִדְתָּנָה | ʿēt le·deṯānāh} ‘time of their birthing’ binds the noun ʿēt to the infinitive construct ledetana, expressing a temporal-genitive relationship. This parallel structure emphasizes human limitation in measuring or understanding natural processes.
