Exegesis
The distributive expression lekol-ish Yisrael {לְכָל־אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל | lə-kōl-ʾîš yiś-rā-ʾēl} “to every man of Israel” is broadened by the inclusivity marker me-ish ve-ad-ishah {מֵאִישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁה | mē-ʾîš wə-ʿad-ʾiš-šāh} “from man up to woman,” underscoring communal participation.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:3
And he distributed to every man of Israel, from man even to woman, to each a loaf of bread, a portion , and a raisin cake .
