Exegesis
This verse continues an asyndetic enumeration of direct objects introduced by ve’et {וְאֵת | wə-ʾêṯ} ‘and’, marking each priestly garment in a distributive structure.
In the final construct phrase mikhnesey ha-bad {מִכְנְסֵי הַבָּד | mik·nə·sê ha·bāḏ}, the sequence shesh and the participle mashzar {מָשְׁזָר | māš·zār} ‘twisted’ forms a layered adjectival chain that underscores the craftsmanship and weaving technique. The retention of noun–material–modifier order reinforces the rhythmic emphasis on fine linen and twisting in the priestly vestments.
In context — Exodus 39:28
And they made the turban of fine linen, and the caps of fine linen, and the undergarments of finely twisted linen.
