Exegesis
The direct object marker et-hamminchah {אֶת־הַמִּנְחָ֗ה | ʾet-hammīn-ḥāh} specifies “the offering,” followed by the restrictive relative clause ʾasher yēaśeh mēʾeleh {אֲשֶׁ֧ר יֵעָשֶׂ֛ה מֵאֵ֖לֶּה | ʾă-šer yē-ʿā-śeh mē-ʾê-leh} “which is made from these,” narrowing the gift to the ingredients listed.
