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.’
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.
