| 19. Linguistic Exegesis The verse begins with the wayyiqtol verb vayomer {וַיֹּ֥אמֶר | wayyōʾmer} ‘and he said’, which continues the narrative. The subject Mosheh {מֹשֶׁה | mōšeh} follows the verb, illustrating verb–subject order in Hebrew narrative. The indirect object alehem {אֲלֵהֶם | ʾălêhem} ‘to them’ designates the audience of the command. The distributive noun ish {אִישׁ | ʾîš} means “each person,” setting universal application. The prohibition uses al {אַל | ʾal} with the Hifil jussive yoter {יוֹתֵר | yôtēr} “let remain,” forming a categorical negative command. The prepositional phrase mimennu {מִמֶּנּוּ | mimmenû} ‘from it’ refers to the individual share of manna, and the temporal phrase ad boker {עַד בֹּקֶר | ʿad bōqer} ‘until morning’ establishes the deadline. The English rendering employs imperative and modal verbs to preserve the distributive prohibition and clear temporal boundary. |
