Exegesis

The Hebrew syntax begins with the coordinating imperative clause ukekhu ish mahtato {וּקְח֣וּ אִ֣ישׁ מַחְתָּת֗וֹ | uqəḵû ʾîš maḥtāṯô}, combining a Qal imperative and a noun phrase to command each individual.

The final coordination veatta veaharon ish mahtato {וְאַתָּה וְאַהֲרֹן אִישׁ מַחְתָּתֽוֹ} with repetition emphasizes communal and leadership participation. English translation preserves sequence and parallelism with semicolons and dashes to reflect Hebrew vav coordination and emphasis.
