Exegesis
The demonstrative zeh {זֶה | zeh} ‘this’ marks summation and introduces the appositional identification of the gift with the donor’s name, Nakhshon ben-Amminadav. Translating into English, numerals precede animal nouns for clarity and items are joined by ‘and’ to reflect the Hebrew’s cumulative listing, characteristic of priestly registry style.
