Exegesis
The verse begins with the protasis marker vechi {וְכִֽי־ | wə-ḵî} ‘and when’, introducing a conditional clause.
It then moves to the verb tizbekhu {תִזְבְּחוּ | tīz-bə-ḥû} ‘you offer’, which is repeated to form an inclusio around the instruction.
The final tizbekhu {תִּזְבָּחוּ | tīz-bə-ḥû} ‘you shall offer’ seals the directive. Hebrew word order (protasis + main clause + purpose clause) emphasizes the connection between the act of offering and divine reception.
Root and etymology
