Exegesis

The repetition of the imperfect yə-gallāḥ {יְגַלַּח | yə-gallāḥ} with kol śə-ʿārō {כָּל־שְׂעָר֗וֹ | kol-śə-ʿā-rō} distributes emphasis to each listed part—rō-šō {רֹאשׁ֤וֹ | rō-šō}, zə-qānō {זְקָנוֹ֙ | zə-qānō}, gabbōṯ {גַּבֹּ֣ת | gabbōṯ}, and ʿê-nāw {עֵינָ֔יו | ʿê-nāw}.

Sequential direct object markers ʾet {אֶת־ | ʾet} reinforce this individual focus.
