Exegesis
The adversative wə-lā-’îš ha-zzêh {וְלָאִישׁ הַזֶּה | wə-lā-’îš ha-zzêh} “but to this man” introduces prohibition, culminating in the noun phrase han-nə-vā-lāh ha-zzôt {הַנְּבָלָה הַזֹּאת | han-nə-vā-lāh ha-zzôt} “this disgraceful thing,” defining the moral boundary. English ordering is adjusted for clarity while retaining Hebrew emphasis and imperatives.
