Exegesis
The Hiphil perfect va-hăremōtem {וַהֲרֵמֹתֶ֤ם | va-hăremōtem} conveys active presentation, leading to the sacrificial designation tə-rūmat {תְּרוּמַ֣ת | tə-rūmat} ‘offering’ followed by the divine name Yə-hō-wāh {יְהוָ֔ה | Yə-hō-wāh} and the numerical specification ma-‘ăśēr {מַעֲשֵׂ֖ר | ma-‘ăśēr} introduced by min-hamma‘ăśēr {מִן־הַֽמַּעֲשֵֽׂר | min-hamma‘ăśēr} ‘from the tithe’. This structure mirrors priestly legal formulae, emphasizing the Levites’ role and divine reception of consecrated portions.
