Exegesis
The second clause begins with u-meshallaēach {וּמְשַׁלֵּ֥חַ | û-məšal-lē-aḥ} ‘sends out’ paired with medanim {מְ֝דָנִ֗ים | mə-ḏā-nîm} ‘strife’ and the prepositional phrase bein akhim {בֵּ֣ן אַחִֽים | bên ʾa-ḥîm} ‘between brothers.’ The parallel structure underscores habitual wrongdoing. Participles are rendered as relative clauses in English to convey continuous action while maintaining the Hebrew parallelism.
