Exegesis
The nominal phrase neshekh ve-tarbit {נֶ֧שֶׁךְ וְתַרְבִּ֣ית | ne-šeḵ wə-tar-bît} ‘interest and increase’ functions as the object of laqachat {לָקַ֗חַתְּ | lā-qa-ḥat} ‘you have taken’, followed by vatevatzi {וַתְּבַצְּעִי | wa-tə-ḇat-tsiʿ} ‘and you have gained’ with the instrumental ba-osheq {בַּעֹשֶׁק | ba-ʿō-šeq} ‘through oppression’.
