Exegesis
The perfect hayetah {הָֽיְתָ֛ה | hā-yə-ṭā(h)} ‘has occurred’ denotes completed action, and the noun phrase hachatat hazot hayom {הַחַטָּ֥את הַזֹּ֖את הַיּֽוֹם | ha-ḥaṭ-ṭāṯ ha-zōṯ ha-yōm} ‘this sin today’ specifies the transgression and its timing. The English versions maintain the Hebrew sequence of imperatives and interrogative structure for fidelity and clarity.
