Exegesis
The particle et-kol-eleh {אֵת־כָּל אֵלֶּה | ʾet-kôl ʾê-lléh} marks the appositional clause Kol-eleh anshei-chayil {כָּל־אֵלֶּה אַנְשֵׁי־חָיִל | kol ʾê-lléh an-śê-ḥā-yîl} ‘all these men of valor’, providing characterization. English renders the Hebrew result and appositional structures into a clear subject–verb–object sequence without losing emphasis.
