Exegesis
The second employs the Hiphil imperfect tashchit {תַשְׁחִית | ṯašḥîṯ} (‘you shall destroy’) in second person masculine singular, marking individual responsibility, with the direct object marker et {אֵת | ʾēṯ} before pe'at zeqanekha {פְּאַת זְקָנֶךָ | peʾaṯ zəqānēḵā} (‘corner of your beard’). The mirrored construct chains emphasize hair margins as identity markers. This structure is rendered in English by preserving normative verbs and genitive relationships.
Root and etymology
“to ruin, destroy”
In context — Leviticus 19:27
You shall not round the corners of your head, and you shall not destroy the corners of your beard.
