Exegesis
The nominal phrase u-ve-havat bogdim {וּבְהַוָּת בֹּגְדִים | u-wə-ḥa-vat bo-ḡə-ḏîm} uses a construct state to link “craving” with “traitors,” and the Niphal verb yillakedu {יִלָּכֵדוּ | yi-lā-ḵê-dû} emphasizes passive entrapment. The parallel antithesis underscores moral reciprocity.
Root and etymology
