Exegesis
Each verb attaches a second person masculine singular suffix to the construct nouns avikha {אָבִיךָ | ʾāḇîḵā} and immekha {אִמֶּךָ | ʾimmēḵā}, while the perfect form yōladdəṯḵā {יֽוֹלַדְתֶּךָ | yōladdəṯḵā} carries a third person feminine singular suffix, yielding “she who gave birth to you.” The coordinating conjunction wə- links the celebratory imperatives, reinforcing the inclusive joy of parents and the birth-giver. The English renders the jussive with “let” (formal) and “may” (dynamic) to mirror the Hebrew imperative mood and maintains the parallel structure for rhetorical emphasis.
