Exegesis
The paired prepositional phrases ba-a-dam {בָּאָדָ֥ם | ba-a-dam} and u-va-bhe-ma {וּבַבְּהֵמָ֖ה | u-va-bhe-ma} create a merism that underscores inclusivity.
In context — Numbers 18:15
Every first opener of the womb from all flesh that they bring near to the LORD , whether from human or from animal, shall be yours. However, you shall surely redeem the firstborn of a human, and you shall redeem the firstborn of an unclean animal.
