Exegesis
The coordinate vav introduces the participle ūnəṣûrat {וּנְצֻ֥רַת | ū-nə-ṣû-raṯ} ‘guarded,’ a passive Qal participle conveying concealed intent, followed by the noun lêḇ {לֵֽב | lêḇ} ‘heart,’ the seat of motive. The English infinitive preserves the Hebrew infinitive construct, and the passive participle is rendered as an adjective to maintain voice and nuance.
