Exegesis
The comparative particle ka-ʾašer {כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר | ka-ʾašer} introduces a temporal parallel, and the Hophal perfect gūllāḥ {גֻּלָּֽח | gūllāḥ} ‘it was shaved’ marks a completed passive action. The literal reconstruction mirrors this sequence, while the formal and dynamic renderings smooth word order and clarify aspect and emphasis.
Root and etymology
