Exegesis
The adversative particle akh {אַ֚ךְ | ʾaḵ} ‘however’ pivots from the payment itself to the means of raising it: he'erikh {הֶעֱרִ֣יךְ | heʿĕrîḵ} ‘he assessed’ takes et-haaretz {אֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ | ʾeṯ-hāʾāreṣ} ‘(direct object) the land,’ and the following infinitive latet {לָתֵ֥ת | lāṯēṯ} ‘to give’ expresses purpose, moving toward et-hakesef {אֶת־הַכֶּ֖סֶף | ʾeṯ-hākésep̄} ‘(direct object) the silver.’
The distributive pattern ish {אִ֣ישׁ | ʾîš} ‘a man’ + ke-erkho {כְּעֶרְכּ֗וֹ | kəʿerḵô} ‘according to his valuation’ specifies individualized assessment, and nagas {נָגַ֞שׂ | nāgaś} ‘he exacted’ then resumes the narrative flow with the objects et-hakesef2 {אֶת־הַכֶּ֤סֶף | ʾeṯ-hākésep̄} ‘the silver’ and ve'et-hazahav {וְאֶת־הַזָּהָב֙ | wə-ʾeṯ-hāzāhāḇ} ‘and the gold.’
In context — 2 Kings 23:35
Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; however, he assessed the land to give the silver at Pharaoh’s word, and he exacted the silver and the gold from the people of the land, each man according to his valuation, to give to Pharaoh Necho.
