And moreover, in a sentence that is said by way of contrast and inconsistency with the sentence that comes before it, if the foundation of the inconsistency is the obligation and the difference in obligation is between the nouns, then the noun will come first - לנכרי תשיך ולאחיך לא תשיך (To a foreigner you may lend upon interest; but to your brother you shall not lend upon interest)²³².

And moreover, whenever the noun comes first, as in קרבן ראשית תקריבו (As an offering of first-fruits you may bring them)²³³ and it does not say והקרבתם קרבן ראשית – this clarifies that it is not commandment on its own, but only a statement which indicates that the previous sentence does not apply to קרבן ראשית (an offering of first-fruits).
