Exegesis
The imperfect with maqqef yi-ppōl-šām {יִפָּ֥ל־שָֽׁם | yi-ppōl-šām} ‘he will fall there’ introduces a result clause. The parallelism between pit and fall, along with the chiastic order (noun + adjective + construct genitive + participle + verb), underscores the inevitability of divine judgment.
