Exegesis

In the parallel section, betset hashanah {בְּצֵאת הַשָּׁנָה | bə-ṣēʾṯ ha-šānāh} ‘at the going out of the year’ establishes the temporal frame for beaspkha {בְּאָסְפְּךָ | bə-ʾāsəpkha} ‘when you gather’, with et maasekha {אֶת־מַעֲשֶׂיךָ | ʾet maʿăśêkā} ‘your produce’ from min hasadeh {מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה | min ha-sādê} ‘from the field’. This syntactic parallelism underscores the coordinated ordering of agricultural rites and temporal markers in the Hebrew text and informs the English rendering of ritual structure.
