Exegesis
The subsequent Piel vav-consecutive imperfect vayyerappēʾ {וַיְרַפֵּא | wayyərappēʾ} ‘and he restored’ takes the construct et-mizbēaḥ YHWH {אֶת־מִזְבֵּחַ יְהוָה | ʾet-mizbēaḥ Yə-hō-wāh} ‘the altar of the LORD’ as its object, where et marks specificity and the construct chain signals possession.
