Exegesis
The subsequent Hiphil imperfect yenahaleni {יְנַהֲלֵֽנִי | yĕnahălēnî} ‘he leads me’ continues the motif of guidance. This chiastic structure of rest and leadership underscores the shepherd’s comprehensive care and reinforces Hebrew poetic parallelism.
In context — Psalm 23:2
He settles me down in green pastures ; He guides me to waters of quiet rest.
