| 3. Linguistic Exegesis The verse begins with the emphatic repetition ish {אִישׁ | ʾîš} ‘man’ to convey distributive emphasis. The construct phrase mibbeit yisra’el {מִבֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל | mi-bê-ṯ yi-srā-ʾêl} ‘from the house-of Israel’ designates the community addressed. The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} introduces two parallel actions governed by yishchat {יִשְׁחַט | yiš-ḥaṭ} ‘he slaughters,’ first within the prepositional phrase ba-machaneh {בַּמַּחֲנֶה | ba-maḥ-ă-nêh} ‘in the camp’ and then within mi-chuts la-machaneh {מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה | mi-ḥûṣ la-maḥ-ă-nêh} ‘from outside to the camp.’ The coordination via the conjunction o {אוֹ | ʾō} links the legal conditions, and the English rendering smooths the Hebrew parallelism while preserving spatial boundaries. |
