Exegesis
The compound noun phrase tsemed khamorim khavushim {צֶמֶד חֲמוֹרִים֙ חֲבוּשִׁ֔ים | ṣᵉmeḏ ḥămorîm ḥăḇûšîm} ‘pair of saddled donkeys’ stacks noun + noun + participle, and the possessive upilagsho {וּפִילַגְשׁ֖וֹ | wə-pilagšô} ‘and his concubine’ returns to the subject’s accompaniment. English syntax reorders these elements into a clear sequence and separates appositive information into distinct clauses for readability.
