Exegesis
Contrastingly, the second clause begins with veish {וְאִ֖ישׁ | wə-ʾîš} ‘but a man’ of tevunah {תְּבוּנָ֣ה | təbûnâ} ‘understanding’, who performs the verb yidlennah {יִדְלֶֽנָּה | yîdlennâh} ‘draw it out’. The feminine pronominal suffix on yidlennah refers back to etzah, creating cohesion. The imagery of drawing water from depth underscores the process of uncovering concealed thoughts, highlighting the value of discernment.
