Exegesis
The verbs vedarashta {וְדָרַשְׁתָּ֙ | wə·ḏā·raš·tā} and vehigidu {וְהִגִּידוּ | wə·hîg·gī·dû} structure the inquiry–response dynamic, and the phrase et devar hamishpat {אֵ֖ת דְּבַ֥ר הַמִּשְׁפָּֽט | ʾet də·ḇar ham·miš·pāṭ} focuses on the judicial matter. The English rendering preserves the Hebrew’s sequential logic and formal legal framework.
