Exegesis
The parallel specifications miqqōl-ḥelbô {מִכָּל־חֶלְבּוֹ | miqqōl-ḥelbô} ‘from all its fat’ and ʾet-mikdāshô {אֶת־מִקְדְּשׁוֹ | ʾet-mikdāshô} ‘its sacred part’ employ the preposition min in each clause to intensify the demand for the choicest and most consecrated portions. Rendering both instances of min as “from” preserves the Hebrew distributive emphasis, while the repetition guides the English additive “and” in the final clause.
