Exegesis
The interrogative particle mǎddûaʿ {מַדֻּעַ | maḏ-dû-ʿa} 'why?' frames the complaint lo-nāśāʾ habbēn baʿăvôn hā-ʾāv {לֹא־נָשָׂא הַבֵּן בַּעֲוֺן הָאָב | lōʾ-nā-śāʾ hab-bēn ba-ʿă-vōn hā-ʾāv} 'does not the son bear the iniquity of the father?' The clause wə-hab-bēn miš-pāṭ û-ṣə-dā-qāh ʿā-śāh {וְהַבֵּן מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה עָשָׂה | wə-hab-bēn miš-pāṭ û-ṣə-dā-qāh ʿā-śāh} 'and the son does justice and righteousness' establishes the condition for individual accountability.
