| 11. Linguistic Exegesis The indefinite relative clause begins with vekhol {וְכֹ֨ל | wə-ḵōl} ‘all’ followed by asher {אֲשֶׁ֤ר | ăšer} ‘which,’ modifying the noun hazzāv {הַזָּ֔ב | haz-zāv} ‘the one with a discharge.’ The particle lōʾ {לֹא־ | lōʾ} in lōʾ-šāṭap {לֹא־שָׁטַ֣ף | lōʾ-šāṭap} ‘not washed’ creates a conditional prerequisite. The vav-consecutive chain wə-qib-bes {וְכִבֶּ֧ס | wə-qib-bes}, wə-rāḥaṣ {וְרָחַ֥ץ | wə-rāḥaṣ}, and wə-ṭāmēʾ {וְטָמֵ֥א | wə-ṭāmēʾ} marks sequential actions and resultant state. The prepositional phrases ba-māyim {בַּמָּ֑יִם | ba-māyim} and bə-ḡādāw {בְּגָדָ֛יו | bə-ḡādāw} specify means and object, preserving the ritual purification procedure. |
