| 7. Linguistic Exegesis The verse is structured as two parallel couplets joined by vav-conjunctions and imperfect verbs to express future prophetic certainties. The first couplet begins with yiz-zal {יִֽזַּל | yiz-zal} ‘flows’ plus the source phrase mid-dā-lyāv {מִדָּ֣לְיָ֔ו | mid-dā-lyāv} ‘from his buckets,’ then shifts to ve-za-ra-’ô {וְזַרְע֖וֹ | ve-za-ra-’ô} ‘and his seed’ with the locative be-ma-yim rab-bîm {בְּמַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים | be-ma-yim rab-bîm} ‘in abundant waters,’ conveying nourishment and expansion. The second couplet mirrors this pattern: ve-yā-rōm {וְיָרֹ֤ם | ve-yā-rōm} ‘and will be exalted’ governs me-’ă-gag {מֵֽאֲגַג֙ | me-’ă-gag} ‘above Agag,’ while ve-tin-nā-sê {וְתִנַּשֵּׂ֖א | ve-tin-nā-sê} ‘and will be lifted up’ applies to mal-khu-tô {מַלְכֻתֽוֹ | mal-khu-tô} ‘his kingdom.’ The parallel structure and comparative prepositions underscore divine provision, flourishing influence, and exalted rulership. |
