Exegesis
The core subject sheva parot {שֶׁבַע פָּרוֹת | še-vaʿ pā-rōt} ‘seven cows’ is modified by two descriptive constructions: yefot mareh {יְפֹות מַרְאֶה | yə-p̄ōt mar-ʾeh} ‘beautiful of appearance’ and uvriot basar {וּבְרִיאֹת בָּשָׂר | u-və-rî-ʾōt bā-śār} ‘healthy of flesh’, emphasizing both visual and physical attributes.

r-ʾ-hresh–aleph–heh
