Exegesis
The distributive prepositional phrase lā’ēḥâd {לָאֶחָ֖ד | lā-’e-ḥâd} ‘for one’ marks individual allocation, and kĕmispārām {כְּמִסְפָּרָֽם | ke-mis-pār-ām} ‘according to their number’ binds each individual to the total count. English mirrors this Hebrew parallelism by repeating the structure and maintaining the distributive syntax.
Root and etymology
