| 8. Linguistic Exegesis The verse presents a nominal predicate, rifu'ut {רִפְאוּת | rîp̄âʾût} ‘healing’, with the imperfect verb tehi {תְּהִי | tĕhî} ‘it will be’ followed by two parallel prepositional phrases. The phrase lesharekha {לְשָׁרֶךָ | lə-šār-rê-kā} ‘to your navel’ and the phrase leatsmotekha {לְעַצְמוֹתֶיךָ | lə-ʿaṣ-mō-ṯê-kā} ‘to your bones’, linked by weshikquy {וְשִׁקּוּי | wə-šîq-qûy} ‘and moisture’, form balanced parallelism that emphasizes holistic bodily renewal from core to framework. |
