Exegesis
This is followed by the Qal imperfect yisbe'u {יִשְׂבּ֥עוּ | yiś-bə-ʿū} and Hiphil perfect vehinichu {וְהִנִּ֥יחוּ | wə-hin-nî-ḥū} with yitram {יִ֝תְרָ֗ם | yit-rām} leollehem {לְעוֹלְלֵֽיהֶם | lə-ʿol-le-lê-hem}, describing satisfaction in offspring and inheritance succession. The chiastic arrangement and parallel syntax contrast mortal pursuits with God’s sustaining care.
