Exegesis
The verb hāyətâ {הָיְתָה | hā-yə-tā(h)} ‘was’ connects to the predicate lĭ-vanê-mənăš-šêh hanōṯārîm {לִבְנֵי־מְנַשֶּׁה הַנּוֹתָרִים | li-ḇnê-mə-năš-šêh han-nō-ṯā-rîm} ‘to the remaining sons of Manasseh’. Here the construct lĭ-vanê-mənăš-šêh indicates a genitive relationship, and the participle hanōṯārîm functions as a qualifier. The parallel clause structure contrasts universal female inclusion with a specified subset of male heirs, highlighting the legal innovation.
