יֵחַת Shall be broken; comp. החתות Thou hast broken (9:3); it is Niphal, like יִמַּס (13:7) Will be melted מֵעָם By a people.⁹A. V. That it be not a people. Evil shall befall them by means of a people that will come against them. יֵחַת can also be Kal of a verb נחת ,פ״נ to go down, (like יִגַּשׁ he will approach; comp. תֵּחַת It comes down) (Prov. 17:9); הנחת Cause to come down (Joel 3:11), where the נ is not omitted.

then shall I be perfect: – איתם (here) is written with yodh after aleph, but quiescent – as it compensates for the daghesh without yodh. Cf. (ימַּד in) “it cannot be measured (ימַּד)” (Hos. 2:1); (ימס in) “and every heart of man shall melt (ימס)” (Is. 13:7). There is in it also a hidden meaning, for the numerical value of yodh is ten, and in the Ten Words was the Law given, and they are its perfection and completeness. He says: then when Thou shalt clear me from my errors and help me so that sins of passion have not control over me, then I shall be perfect and whole.
