Exegesis
The sequence haaretz beriheyah baadi leolam {הָאָ֖רֶץ בְּרִחֶ֥יָה בַעֲדִ֖י לְעוֹלָ֑ם | hā-ʾā-reṣ bə-ri-ḥe-yāh ba-ʿă-ḏî lə-ʿō-lām} forms a verbless clause whose stacked noun phrases (“the earth… its bars… around me… forever”) portray confinement with relentless accumulation; lə-ʿolam ‘forever’ functions as poetic hyperbole for irreversible entrapment.
In context — Jonah 2:6
To the bases of the mountains I went down; the earth, with its bars around me, held me fast forever; yet You brought up my life from the pit , O LORD , my God .
