Exegesis

Finally, the construct chain mezuzot petachai {מְזוּזוֹת פְּתָחָי | mə-zū-zōṯ pə-ṯā-ḥāy} links ‘doorposts’ to ‘entrances,’ defining the boundary under watch. In translation, English gerunds and infinitives render the Hebrew participial and infinitival aspects, and ‘daily’ captures the repetition.
