Exegesis
The second phrase mirrors this construction with b’tə-bū-nāh {בִּתְבוּנָה | bə-ṯə-bū-nāh} ‘by understanding’ accompanying the verb kô-nên {כּוֹנֵן | kô-nên} ‘established’ acting on shamayim {שָׁמַיִם | šā-ma-yim} ‘heavens’. The verb–object order and chiastic parallelism highlight deliberate divine agency and the foundational role of wisdom and insight in cosmic order.
In context — Proverbs 3:19
The LORD founded the earth through wisdom ; by understanding He established the heavens.
