Exegesis

The construct bēt ʼāḇîw {בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔יו | bēt ʼāḇîw} ‘house of his father’ extends benefit to family, and ḥōp̄šî {חָפְשִׁ֖י | ḥōp̄šî} ‘free’ denotes exemption from obligations. The clause ordering and syntactic parallelism highlight both challenge and reward in Israel’s communal framework.
