Exegesis
The final clause employs wə-neʼeśfū {וְנֶאֶסְפ֗וּ | wə-ne-es-pû} ‘and are gathered’, another Nifal perfect governing the construct chain ʿiśśəvôṯ hārîm {עִשְּׂבוֹת הָרִים | ʿiś-ə-bôṯ hā-rîm} ‘herbs of the mountains’, situating the harvest in the hill country. In the formal reconstruction, the parallel clause structure is retained to mirror the Hebrew sequence, whereas the dynamic reconstruction introduces an initial temporal clause (“After the old grass is gone”) to render the progression idiomatically in English. Both translations preserve the construct relationship between ʿiśśəvôṯ and hārîm.
In context — Proverbs 27:25
The grass is removed, the tender grass appears, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered.
