| 5. Linguistic Exegesis The verse employs the vav-consecutive in vesaraf {וְשָׂרַף | wə-śārāp̄} ‘and he shall burn’ to advance the procedural narrative. The direct object marker et {אֶת | ʾet} precedes each component, enforcing exhaustive listing. The phrase lə-ʿênāyav {לְעֵינָיו | lə-ʿênāyav} ‘before his eyes’ functions as a supervision idiom, marking legal oversight. Coordination wə-ʾet {וְאֶת | wə-ʾet} linking orah {עֹרָהּ | ʿôrāh} ‘skin’, bə-śārāh {בְּשָׂרָהּ | bə-śārāh} ‘flesh’, and dāmāh {דָּמָהּ | dāmāh} ‘blood’ uses repetition for emphasis on completeness. Finally, ʿal-piršāh {עַל־פִּרְשָׁהּ | ʿal-piršāh} ‘upon its dung’ underscores comprehensive destruction, including refuse. |
