Exegesis
It immediately precedes the substantive construct ’owph {עוֹף | ʿōp̄} ‘bird’, modified by the adjective tahor {טָהוֹר | ṭāhôr} ‘clean’, together forming the direct object of the imperative verb tokhelu {תֹּאכֵלוּ | tōʾəḵlû} ‘you shall eat’. The Hebrew word order—object phrase before verb—is typical for emphasis on the limited category of permissible items. The maqqef linking kol-’owph conjoins quantifier and noun tightly. In English, the noun-first position is preserved in the formal rendering, while the dynamic shifts the verb phrase and subject to the front for natural flow.
