Exegesis
The temporal phrase bə-khol-ʿēt {בְכָל־עֵת | bə-khol-ʿēt} ‘at all times’ frames ongoing fulfillment, and the prepositional clause bə-ʾă-hă-vā-tāh {בְּאַהֲבָתָ֗הּ | bə-ʾă-hă-vā-tāh} ‘in her love’ leads to the imperfect tiš-ge-h {תִּשְׁגֶּ֥ה | tiš-ge-h} ‘be intoxicated’, which along with the adverb tā-mîd {תָמִֽיד | tā-mîd} ‘continually’ forms a result/emphasis structure that highlights enduring delight and emotional absorption.
In context — Proverbs 5:19
A doe of loves , a deer of grace—may her breasts satisfy you at all times; may you ever be intoxicated in her love.
