Exegesis
The resultant perfect clause na’u ma’ageloteha {נָעוּ מַעְגְּלֹתֶיהָ | nā‘û mă‘ǵəlôṯēhā} portrays her tracks as having wandered, and the negated imperfect lo teida {לֹא תֵדָע | lō’ tədā‘} conveys her ongoing ignorance. The sequence of construct phrase, purpose clause, result clause, and negation employs Hebrew parataxis to heighten urgency. Maintaining Hebrew word order preserves the cause-effect flow, while the Piel form justifies the rendering “weigh” to reflect deliberate thought.
