Exegesis
The construct phrase kol afsê areṣ {כָּל־ אַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ | kol, afsê, ʾāreṣ} ‘all ends of the earth’ conveys universality.
The final construct kol mishpechot goyim {כָּל־ מִשְׁפְּחוֹת גּוֹיִם | kol, mišpəḥōṯ, gōyim} ‘all families of the nations’ intensifies inclusive worship. The preserved word order and vav chronology underscore global return and homage.
In context — Psalm 22:27
All the ends of the earth will remember and return to the LORD and all the families of the nations will bow down before You.
