Exegesis
Finally, the participial phrase haomdim al hapequdim {הָעֹמְדִ֖ים עַל־הַפְּקֻדִֽים | ha’ômdîm ’al-happəquddîm} ‘the ones standing over the counted’ functions as a circumstantial participle expressing continuous oversight. English appositions and participial nuances are conveyed through commas, dashes, and the phrase “standing over.”
