| 3. Linguistic Exegesis The imperative gol {גֹּל | gôl} ‘roll’ commands an act of transferring responsibility. The preposition el {אֶל־ | ʾel} links the direct object maʿaseikha {מַעֲשֶׂיךָ | maʿăśê-kā} ‘your works’ with the recipient Yahweh {יְהוָ֣ה | Yəhōwâ} ‘LORD.’ The vav-consecutive + Qal imperfect veyikkonu {וְיִכֹּנוּ | wəyikkōnū} ‘and will be established’ introduces the result clause with machshevoteikha {מַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ | maḥšəḇōṯê-ka} ‘your thoughts’ as the subject. This protasis–apodosis structure connects an act of covenantal entrustment with the assurance of divine establishment. |
