Exegesis
The direct object te-rumat-khem {תְּרוּמַתְכֶ֑ם | tə-rū-mat-khem} ‘your offering’ precedes two parallel comparative similes: ka-dā-gan {כַּדָּגָן֙ | ka-dā-gan} ‘as grain’ and kə-mĕ-lē-’āh {וְכַֽמְלֵאָ֖ה | kə-mĕ-lē-’āh} ‘as full yield’, each introduced by min {מִן | min} ‘from’ with a definite noun in construct to specify source (the threshing floor and the winepress). The coordinating vav linking the second simile emphasizes the equal valuation of grain and wine produce.
