Exegesis
The terms va-al-bi-shekh {וָאַלְבִּישֵׁ֣ךְ | wā-ʾal-bi-šēḵ} “and I clothed you,” va-en-a-lēkh {וָאֶנְעֲלֵ֖ךְ | wā-ʾen-ʿă-lēḵ} “and I shod you,” va-ech-be-shekh {וָאֶחְבְּשֵׁ֣ךְ | wā-ʾeḥ-be-šēḵ} “and I girded you,” and va-a-kas-sekh {וַאֲכַסֵּ֖ךְ | wa-ʾă-kas-sēḵ} “and I covered you” are paralleled by luxurious materials: rikmah {רִקְמָ֔ה | rīq-mā(h)} “embroidered work,” tahash {תָּחַשׁ | ṭā-ḥaš} “tachash leather,” shesh {בַּשֵּׁ֔שׁ | šēš} “linen,” and meshi {מֶשִׁי | me-šī} “silk.” This listing follows Hebrew parallelism and emphasizes divine favor conveyed through lavish garments. The prepositional prefix in bashesh underscores the draped nature of the linen veil, while the repeated vav-consecutive forms sustain narrative momentum and reinforce each act of provision.
