Exegesis
The phrase kol-hanōgeʿaʿ bâh {כָּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּהּ | kol-hannōgeʿaʿ bâh} universalizes guilt for any physical transgression. The structure moves from a general principle marked by ken through a specific participial statement of action to a universal legal pronouncement, which the English renders with parallel clauses to preserve both prohibition and consequence.
