Exegesis
The adversative conjunction umachar {וּמָחָר | ūmāḥār} ‘and tomorrow’ shifts to the apodosis, where yikṣof ʾel-kol-ʿădat Yisraël {יִקְצֹף אֶל־כָּל־עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל | yiqṣōp̄ ʾel-kol-ʿă-ḏat yiś-rā-ʾēl} ‘He will be angry with the whole assembly of Israel’. The imperfect in yikṣof underscores the certainty of divine wrath; the temporal parallelism ‘today… tomorrow’ heightens the immediacy of covenantal judgment, and the quantifier kol in ʾel-kol-ʿădat intensifies the totality of communal responsibility.
Root and etymology
YSRyod–shin–resh
“to strive or prevail”
In context — Joshua 22:18
Are you turning aside today from after the LORD ? If you rebel today against the LORD, tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
