Exegesis
The sequential verbs vechality {וְחָלִ֥יתִי | wə-ḥā-lî-tî} ‘then I will become weak’ and vehayiti {וְהָיִ֖יתִי | wə-hā-yî-tî} ‘and I will be’ signal the result clause, culminating in the simile keechad {כְּאַחַ֥ד | kə-’a-ḥad} ‘like one’ + haadam {הָאָדָֽם | hā-ʾā-dam} ‘the man’. The formal translation preserves Hebrew structure and technical terms, while the dynamic rendering employs colloquial verbs and idioms for natural speech.
In context — Judges 16:11
And he said to her, “If they bind me with new cords that have never borne labor , then I will become weak and be like any other man.”
