Exegesis

The verse opens with hemah {הֵמָּה | hêmmāh} ‘they’ together with the Piel participle meitivim {מֵיטִיבִ֣ים | mêṯîvîm} ‘were making glad,’ framing an ongoing festive action.

In context — Judges 19:22

As they were making their hearts glad , behold, the men of the city, sons of worthlessness , surrounded the house and pounded on the door. They said to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came into your house so that we may know him.”
