Exegesis
The vav-consecutive perfect ve-qatapta {וְקָטַפְתָּ | wə-qā-ṭap-ta} “and you plucked” governs mallilot {מַלִּילֹת | mal-lî-lōṯ} “ears of grain,” while be-yadekha {בְּיָדֶךָ | bə-yā-ḏe-kā} “with your hand” limits the action to manual gathering.
In context — Deuteronomy 23:25
When you enter your neighbor’s standing grain, you may pick heads with your hand, but you shall not put a sickle to your neighbor’s standing crop.
