Exegesis

The temporal-conditional clause ki-yishalekh {כִּֽי־יִשְׁאָלְךָ֥ | kî-yiš-ʾāl-ḵā} ‘when he asks you’ features binakh {בִנְךָ֛ | bin-ḵā} ‘your son’ as subject in construct with the second person suffix.

In context — Exodus 13:14

And it shall be, when your son asks you tomorrow, saying “What is this?”, that you shall say to him, “With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slaves.”
