Exegesis

The judicial outcome is framed by ve-karah aleikha el YHWH {וְקָרָא עָלֶיךָ אֶל־יְהוָה | wə-qārāʾ ʿā·leḵā ʾel Yə-hō-wāh} ‘and he will call out against you to the LORD,’ and ve-hayah be-kha chet {וְהָיָה בְךָ חֵטְא | wə-hā·yāh bə·ḵā ḥêṯ·ʾā} ‘and it will become sin in you.’ The Hebrew employs construct chains for temporal phrases and idiomatic verbs to underline the link between inward attitude and social-theological consequence.
