Exegesis
The prepositional phrase le-rosho {לְרֹאשׁוֹ | lə-rō-šō} “upon his head” and noun phrase ateret paz {עֲטֶרֶת פָּז | ʿa-te-ret pāz} “crown of pure gold” function as material complements. The parallel verb structure underscores a twofold divine provision—first receiving with favor, then crowning with regal honor.
