Exegesis

The construction opens with the direct-object marker et {אֶת | ʾeṯ} ‘direct object marker’, signaling the three-item series governed by the Qal imperfect yiqqāḥ {יִקַּח | yiqqāḥ} ‘he shall take’.

Each noun in the list is reintroduced by the conjunction wǝ-ʾeṯ {וְאֶת | wǝ-ʾeṯ} ‘and’ plus the direct-object marker (ha-ṣippōr {הַצִּפֹּר | ha-ṣippōr} ‘the bird’, ʿēṣ hā-ʾerez {עֵץ הָאֶרֶז | ʿēṣ hā-ʾerez} ‘the cedar wood’, šənî hā-tōlāʿāṯ {שְׁנִי הַתּוֹלַעַת | šənî hā-tōlāʿāṯ} ‘two of the scarlet’, hā-ʾēzōḇ {הָאֵזֹב | hā-ʾēzōḇ} ‘the hyssop’).

In context — Leviticus 14:6

He shall take the living bird along with the cedar wood, the scarlet, and the hyssop , and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the living water.
