Exegesis
Each accusative phrase—et-ʿāwōn hammīqdāš {אֶת־עֺוֺן הַמִּקְדָּשׁ | ʾet-ʿāwōn hammīqdāš} ‘the iniquity of the sanctuary’ and et-ʿāwōn kəhunnat-ḵem {אֶת־עֺוֺן כְּהֻנַּתְכֶֽם | ʾet-ʿāwōn kəhunnat-ḵem} ‘the iniquity of your priesthood’—features the direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet}, reflecting the Hebrew double accusative construction. The parallel structure delineates two spheres of Aaronic accountability and underscores the gravity of sacred and priestly obligations.
