A coordinated series enumerates shor {שׁוֹר | šôr} ‘ox’, followed by a generic seh {שֵ̇ה | sē} ‘small livestock’, specified by kəsavim {כְשָׂבִים | kə-sā-vîm} ‘of sheep’, and then repeated with ve-seh {וְשֵׂה | wə-sē} ‘and small livestock’, specified by izzim {עִזִּים | ʿiz-zîm} ‘of goats’. The parallel repetition emphasizes inclusivity across small livestock categories.
