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.
In context — Leviticus 14:9
And it shall be on the seventh day that he shall shave off all his hair—from his head, his beard, and the eyebrows of his eyes—indeed, all his hair he shall shave off. Then he shall wash his garments and bathe his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
