Exegesis
The niphal imperfect verb yimaret {יִמָּרֵט | yim·mārēṭ} ‘is made bald’ governs the direct object rosho {רֹאשׁוֹ | rō·šô} ‘his head’, which is then characterized by the noun gibbeach {גִּבֵּחַ | gib·bēaḥ} ‘bald forehead’ serving as a predicate complement.
Root and etymology
ר־א־שׁ
“head, top”
