Exegesis
The object phrase kol-ḥădre bāṭen {כָּל־חַדְרֵי־בָּטֶן | kol-ḥădre bāṭen} ‘all the chambers of the belly’ employs another construct chain, with kol ‘all’ modifying ḥădre bāṭen, a Hebrew idiom for innermost thoughts or intentions. In translation, construct chains are rendered with English genitives to preserve relational nuance, and the participle is rendered as an active present participle clause, maintaining the poetic and theological emphasis on divine illumination and introspective examination.
