Exegesis

The additive particle gam in vegam-yeildei {וְגַם־יְלִדֵ֥י | wə-ḡam-yə-lî-ḏê} connects to ha-‘anaq {הֽ͏ָעֲנָ֖ק | hā-ʿa-nāq}, and the report closes with the perfect verb ra’inu {רָאִ֥ינוּ | rā-ʾî-nû} and locative sham {שָֽׁם | šām}. English shifts the Hebrew VSO order to SVO, rendering participial and additive constructions as finite clauses and conjunctions to preserve the original emphasis on formidable inhabitants and defenses.
