According to Fassberg (2019, §231), the variation of verb forms here represents an ""aspectual merismus."" The difficulty arises not only on account of the past and completed event signified by the yiqtol VP, but, indeed, the anterior reference time to the preceding event (cf. NIV: ""They ate till they were gorged— he had given them what they craved""; TOB: ""Ils mangèrent et se gavèrent: il avait accédé à leur désir""; cf. EÜ, NBS). This is one of the few occasions where TgPs and the Syr. will diverge morphologically from the MT's yiqtol (איתי להון; ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ""he brought to them""). Our preferred reading understands יָבִא as a preterite yiqtol, licensed by the other unambiguous instances in the psalm (see vv. 26, 45, 47, 49-50), probably as a circumstantial clause, reflecting the syntactic origins of long yiqtol as a preterite (see Isaksson 2024, 296-299). Nevertheless, a habitual reading of יָבִא is also possible: ""whenever he would [repeatedly] bring them what they craved.""
