Exegesis
The Qal participle oseh {עֹשֵׂ֖ה | ʿô-śê} paired with the pronoun kulam {כֻלָּ֣ם | kûl-lām} introduces a circumstantial clause attributing universal creative action to YHWH {יְהוָֽה | Yə-hō-wāh}. The verb-subject-object order foregrounds meeting before divine creation, and placing YHWH at the clause end intensifies the theological assertion of God’s sovereignty.
Root and etymology
