Exegesis
In the first, oved {עֹבֵד | ʿô-ḇêḏ} ‘working’ takes admato {אַדְמָתוֹ | ’aḏ-mā-tô} ‘his land’ as object, followed by yisba {יִשְׂבַּע | yiš-bā‘} ‘will be satisfied’ governing lechem {לָחֶם | lā-ḥem} ‘bread’.
A second yisba parallels the first, taking reesh {רִישׁ | rîš} ‘poverty’ as its complement, completing the chiastic action–result structure. The formal version retains Hebrew aspect through participles, while the dynamic version shifts to finite verbs for readability.
