Exegesis
The future obligation ke-seph yiš-qōl {כֶסֶף יִשְׁקֹל | ke-seph yiš-qōl} sets out the payment action, and the prepositional phrase kə-mō-hār ha-bə-tu-lōt {כְּמֹהַר הַבְּתוּלֹת | kə-mō-hār ha-bə-tu-lōt} specifies the legal standard fee. English SVO order mirrors Hebrew VSO emphasis on condition and binding obligation.
In context — Exodus 22:17
And if her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he shall weigh out silver according to the bride-price of virgins.
