Exegesis
The fronting of qadashai {קָדָשַׁ֖י | qā-ḏā-šai} ‘my holy things’ and shabb'totai {שַׁבְּתֹתַ֖י | šab-bə-ṯō-tai} ‘my Sabbaths’ before their verbs creates emphasis on the violation of sacred provisions.
The conjunctive particle ve'et {וְאֶת־ | wə-ʾet} links two parallel charges and marks the second accusative.
