Exegesis
The final nifal imperfect yeratsu {יֵרָצ֖וּ | yērāṣū} ‘they will be accepted’ with lakhem {לָכֶֽם | lāḵem} ‘for you’ completes the prohibition. The doubling of corruptive terms underscores purity concerns and is mirrored in the reconstructions to preserve emphasis, with the formal retaining Hebrew word order and the dynamic clarifying sacrificial participants.
In context — Leviticus 22:25
And from the hand of a foreigner you shall not bring the bread of your God from any of these, for their corruption is in them; a defect is in them, and they will not be accepted for you.
