  • Grammatical agreement of וַתֵּט and אֲשֻׁרֵינוּ: Feminine plural nouns of things (or animals) can sometimes function as collectives, and thus take a feminine singular verb, as here (JM §150g).
  • Negative particle לֹא: Although the negative particle לֹא only occurs in the first half of this verse, its force is extended to the second, juxtaposed clause (JM §160q).
