Exegesis
The verse employs a vav-consecutive series beginning with ve-ammudei {וְעַמּוּדֵי֩ | wə-ʿammûdê} ‘and the pillars’ modifying the construct noun hechatzar {הֶחָצֵר | he-ḥā-ṣêr} ‘the courtyard’, followed by the adverb saviv {סָבִ֜יב | sā-vîḇ} ‘surrounding’ to highlight the enclosure’s perimeter.
In context — Numbers 4:32
And the pillars of the courtyard all around, and their bases, and their pegs, and their ropes—for all their equipment and for all their service—you shall assign by name the equipment of the responsibility of their burden .
