Exegesis

The list of provisions is structured by dry measure korim {כֹּרִים | kôr-rîm} and liquid measure batim {בַּתִּים | ba-tîm}, each quantified by esrim elef {עֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף | ʿeś-rîm ʾe-lep̄} “twenty thousand,” creating a cumulative effect. Rendering natati in the future highlights its pledging function.
