Exegesis
A coordination begins with umaddav {וּמַדָּיו | u-mad-dāy} ‘and his garments,’ followed by a series of items each introduced by ve-ad {וְעַד־ | ve-’ad} ‘and even’: charvo {חַרְבּוֹ | khar-bô} ‘his sword,’ kashto {קַשְׁתּוֹ | qaš-tô} ‘his bow,’ and chagoro {חֲגֹרוֹ | kha-gô-rô} ‘his belt.’ The repeated ve-ad construction creates an accumulative effect that underscores the completeness of Jonathan’s offering.
