And any division that is established between subjects or objects, but not between verbs – it will speak by way of a verb, not by way of a noun, like ואם משדה אחוזתו יקדיש (And if a man shall sanctify to the LORD part of the field of his possession)⁵¹⁴, ואם בית אישה נדרה (And if a woman vowed in her husband's house)⁵¹⁵.

And therefore, when it is written ואם מן הצאן קרבנו (And if his offering be of the flock)⁵¹⁶ and ואם זבח שלמים קרבנו (And if his offering be a sacrifice of peace-offerings)⁵¹⁷, it is proper to sayואם מן הצאן מקריב. And this is the reason why the word קרבנו is given a homiletical interpretation.

Leviticus 1:10 says,ואם מן הצאן קרבנו מן הכשבים או מן העזים לעלה זכר תמים יקריבנו(And if his offering be of the flock, whether of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering, he shall offer it a male without blemish), using the word קרבנו for “his offering” instead of the verb מקריב (offer), contradicting Rule 222. The homiletical interpretation is that the word קרבנו is there to exclude offerings that were stolen⁵¹⁸.
