Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction ve- then introduces the parallel object vezaraam {וְזַרְעָם | wəzarʿām} ‘seed’ with its locative phrase mibnei adam {מִבְּנֵי אָדָם | mibbənê ʾāḏām} ‘from among the sons of man’, reinforcing total removal through symmetrical structure. The double prepositional layering intensifies the scope. In English, the prefixed objects are rendered before the verb to preserve the Hebrew topicalization and parallelism.
Root and etymology
ʾ-d-maleph–dalet–mem
“man, humanity”
In context — Psalm 21:10
You will destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of man.
