Exegesis
Inclusive parallelism is established by ish meʾēt reʿēhû {אִישׁ מֵאֵת רֵעֵהוּ | ʾîš mē-ʾēt re-ʿē-hû} and ve-ishāh meʾēt reʿûtāh {וְאִשָּׁה מֵאֵת רְעוּתָהּ | wə-ʾish-šāh mē-ʾēt re-ʿû-tāh}, emphasizing both men and women.
In context — Exodus 11:2
Speak in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask his neighbor and every woman ask her neighbor for articles of silver and articles of gold.
