Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת | ʾeṯ} introduces besarkha {בְּשָׂרְךָ | bə-śār-ḵā} ‘your flesh’, which is allocated to two parallel objects: leof hashamayim {לְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם | lə-ʿôp̄ ha-šā-ma-yim} ‘to the bird of the heavens’ and ulevehemat hasadeh {וּלְבֶהֱמַת הַשָּׂדֶה | u-lə-vhe-hə-māṯ ha-ṣā-dê} ‘and to the beast of the field’. This chiastic parallelism intensifies the threat, and both English reconstructions preserve the coordinated structure while applying stylistic variation.
