How Hebrew Uses Repeated Action Verbs to Reveal a Cycle of Failure
Judges 3:12
וַיֹּסִ֨פוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לַעֲשֹׂ֥ות הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיְחַזֵּ֨ק יְהוָ֜ה אֶת־עֶגְלֹ֤ון מֶֽלֶךְ־מֹואָב֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֛ל כִּֽי־עָשׂ֥וּ אֶת־הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
Transliteration: Vayyosifu bene Yisraʾel laʿasot haraʿ beʿene Adonai vayḥazzeq Adonai et-ʿEglon melekh-Moʾav ʿal-Yisraʾel ʿal ki-ʿasu et-haraʿ beʿene Adonai.
Literal Translation: “And the sons of Yisraʾel again continued to do the evil in the eyes of Adonai, and Adonai strengthened ʿEglon king of Moʾav against Yisraʾel because they had done the evil in the eyes of Adonai.”
