Exegesis
The verb ufikdu {וּפִקְד֖וּ | u-fiq-dû} ‘number, register’ is a Qal imperative denoting an official census action, and the purpose clause veyadati et mispar ha-am {וְיָ֣דַעְתִּ֔י אֵ֖ת מִסְפַּ֥ר הָעָֽם | wə-yā-ḏaʿ-tî ʾēt mis-par hā-ʿām} ‘and I will know the number of the people’ uses the Qal perfect first person singular. In English, the Hebrew V–S–O order is adapted to S–V–O to ensure clarity while preserving the original command sequence, scope markers, and explanatory purpose.
