Exegesis

The infinitive tet {תֵּ֛ת | tēṯ} ‘to give’ and the nouns vekodesh {וְקֹ֥דֶשׁ | wə·qō·ḏeš} ‘sanctuary’ and vetsava {וְצָבָ֖א | wə·ṣā·ḇāʾ} ‘host’ describe surrender for mirmas {מִרְמָֽס | mir·mās} ‘trampling.’ Hebrew employs participial and infinitive constructs to intensify duration and consequence; English syntax foregrounds the question while preserving the layered theological structure.
