| 30. Linguistic Exegesis The vav consecutive on ve’asa {וְעָשָׂה | wə-ʿā-śāh} introduces a continued priestly instruction within a sequence of ritual regulations. The noun phrase ha’echad {הָֽאֶחָד | hā-ʾe-ḥāḏ} marks the singular sacrificial specimen. The coordinated phrase min hatorim o min bnei hayonah {מִן־הַתֹּרִים א֖וֹ מִן־בְּנֵ֣י הַיּוֹנָ֑ה | min-ha-ṯôrîm ʾô min-bə-nê hā-yō-nāh} expresses an alternative choice of birds. The relative clause me’asher tassig yado {מֵאֲשֶׁר תַּשִּׂיג יָדֽוֹ | mē-ʾa-šer ta-ssiḡ yā-ḏô} conveys economic capacity, with the Qal imperfect tassig governing the construct yado to indicate practical ability. English renders this as a conditional affordability clause. |
