Exegesis
The coordinating particle gam-hu {גַּם־הוּא | gam-hū} marks reciprocal action, leading to the parallel qal imperfect yoreh {יוֹרֶא | yō-rĕʾ} ‘will be watered’. This chiastic parallelism underscores the principle that generosity yields reciprocation.
In context — Proverbs 11:25
The soul of blessing will be enriched, and he who waters will himself also be watered.
