v. 14 – Since הַ֝לַּ֗יְלָה is definite, the quantifier כָל informs the totality of the duration of the night, rather than distributive every night, just as we would expect in parallel with יוֹמָ֑ם (cf. the CEB's "all through the night").[1]

  1. The ancient versions also unambiguously attest "all night," with the adverbial accusative ὅλην τὴν νύκτα, the ablative tota nocte, and proleptic ܗ in ܟܠܗ of ܘܟܠܗ ܠܠܝܐ.
