Exegesis

The clause opens with wayyitten {וַיִּתֵּ֥ן | wayyiṭṭēn} and an explicit object otah {אֹתָ֖הּ | ʾōtāh}, then moves into a sequence of lamed-infinitives, lemartah {לְמָרְטָ֣ה | lə-mārṭāh} and litpos {לִתְפֹּ֣שׂ | liṯpōś}, expressing intended function: the weapon is prepared (polished) for effective use (grasping).
