Exegesis
The term pe-tsam {פְּצָם | pə-ṣām} ‘measuring line’ forms a parallel with mi-lê-hēm {מִלֵּיהֶם | mi-lê-hēm} ‘their words’ in a chiastic structure.
The coordinated expression ū-vĭ-qṣê tevel mi-lê-hēm {וּבִקְצֵה תֵבֵל מִלֵּיהֶם | ū-vĭ-qṣê tē-ḇêl mi-lê-hēm} ‘and to the ends of the world their words’ extends the universal proclamation.
In context — Psalm 19:4
Their line goes out throughout the earth, and their words reach to the ends of the world. In them He has set a tent for the sun.
