Exegesis
The speech formula leʾemor {לֵאמֹ֑ר | leʾemor} ‘saying’ introduces the temporal clause baḥōdeš haššəviʿī bəʼeḥād laḥōdeš {בַּחֹ֨דֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִ֜י בְּאֶחָ֣ד לַחֹ֗דֶשׁ | baḥōdeš haššəviʿī bəʼeḥād laḥōdeš} ‘in the seventh month, on the first of the month’, which uses an ordinal–cardinal sequence in a construct chain to underscore calendrical precision.
