Exegesis
The final phrase leminah {לְמִינָֽהּ | lə-min-nāh} employs min {מִין | mīn} ‘kind’ in the construct state with a pronominal suffix to specify ‘according to its kind’. This structure clarifies enumeration and defines a categorical boundary for related species. The English translation preserves the conjunctive list and the species classification nuance.
In context — Deuteronomy 14:13
And the kite and the buzzard and the falcon according to its kind .
