Moon asked:

"Do you say that infinitive "lishmoa`" is parallel to infinitive
"to-follow", INSPITE OF the pause marker ":" between verse (4) and
(5)?"

Surely the pause or verse divider marker is something which was added
to the text later, dividing the text into verses of roughly equal
length for convenience in recitation. There are very many places where
it divides a sentence, although I assume it was always intended to be
at a clause boundary.
