Exegesis
The vav conjunction in uf’kudat kol-ha-adam then links the parallel clause in which f’kudat {פְקֻדַּת | pə-qū-ḏāṯ} ‘visitation’ functions as the subject of the Niphal imperfect yipaked {יִפָּקֵד | yi-pā-qēḏ} ‘is visited’, highlighting passive divine action executed upon the recipients identified by aleihem ‘upon them’. The apodosis is marked by the negator lo ‘not’ before the verb phrase YHWH shlachani, which negates divine commissioning of Moses. The chiastic parallelism between human demise and divine reckoning underscores prophetic legitimacy, and the Niphal’s passive voice emphasizes God’s sovereign agency.
