Exegesis
Lemotzei da'at {לְמֹ֣צְאֵי דָֽעַת | lə-mô-ṣə-ʾê də-ʿaṯ} is a construct chain where the participle ‘those who find’ governs the noun ‘knowledge,’ indicating ongoing pursuit. English translation shifts to SVO order and places the predicates ‘right’ and ‘upright’ in predicate position while preserving Hebrew parallelism and thematic balance.
