Exegesis
The conjunction vav introduces the second parallel clause, leading to uṯĕshû‘āh {וּתְשׁוּעָה | u-ṯĕ-shû-‘āh} ‘and deliverance’, which is qualified by the prepositional phrase bə-rov {בְּרֹב | bə-rov} ‘in abundance’ of counselors yô-‘êṣ {יוֹעֵץ | yô-‘êṣ}, indicating source or condition. This structure exemplifies synonymous parallelism, balancing means (strategic planning) with outcome (multilateral counsel). In English, the instrumental and source phrases are preserved as “by” and “through” to reflect the Hebrew framing.
