Exegesis
The adverb ken {כֵּ֖ן | kēn} ‘so’ introduces a comparative clause, resumed by the repeated verb tarimu {תָּרִ֥ימוּ | ṯārîmû} and the object marker otah {אֹתָֽהּ׃ | ʾōṯâh} ‘it’. The parallelism and repetition reinforce the ritual pattern and the sanctity of the firstfruits offering.
In context — Numbers 15:20
From the first of your dough, a loaf you shall lift up as an offering ; as offering from the threshing floor , so you shall lift it up.
