Exegesis
The interrogation mah {מַה | māh} ‘what’ governs a parallel construct of mishpat-hanaar {מִשְׁפַּט-הַנַּעַר | mišpāṭ-hannāʿar} ‘rule of the boy’ and ūmaʿsêhû {וּמַעֲשֵׂהוּ | ūmaʿsêhû} ‘and his work’. This bicameral question balances legal provision and vocational mandate, reflected in the sequential inquiry in English.
