Exegesis
Amam {אֲמָם | ʾă-mām} appears independently, while ushema {וּשְׁמַע | ū-šə-māʿ} and umoladah {וּמוֹלָדָה | ū-mō-lā-ḏā} attach the conjunction to Shema {שְׁמַע | šə-māʿ} and Moladah {מוֹלָדָה | mō-lā-ḏā}. The translation preserves the Hebrew sequence as “Amam, Shema, and Moladah,” employing the serial comma to reflect coordination without altering natural English flow.
