Exegesis

This is followed by the Qal infinitive avor {עֲבֹ֣ר | ’a·ḇôr} ‘to pass over’ governed by al-pesha {עַל־פָּֽשַׁע | ʿal-pā·šā‘} ‘over transgression’, forming a purpose-result construction that underscores forgiveness as praiseworthy. The parallel vav-conjoined clauses with mirrored verb-object structures create a deliberate antithesis between prolonged anger and gracious tolerance. The formal translation preserves the Hebrew construct and idiomatic sequence, while the dynamic captures the verse’s pragmatic nuance in natural English.
