Exegesis
The particle et {אֶת | ʼēṯ} introduces habbeerah {הַבְּעֵרָה | habbēʿērāh} ‘burning’, clarifying what is to be compensated. Hebrew’s vav-consecutive and disjunctive clauses create a cumulative, emphatic structure underscoring the kindler’s full liability.
Root and etymology
b-'-rbet–ayin–resh
“to burn”
In context — Exodus 22:6
If a fire goes out and finds thorns, and a heap or the standing grain or the field is consumed, the one who kindled the burning must make complete restitution.
