Exegesis

The feminine plural participle tsofot {צֹפֹות | ṣō-pōṯ} ‘watching’ governs the moral objects ra’im {רָעִים | rā-ʿîm} ‘evil ones’ and tovim {טוֹבִים | ṭō-vîm} ‘good ones,’ establishing a continuous, vigilant divine oversight. The coordination of ra’im and tovim underscores moral dualism under universal watch.
