As we have discussed here, the T'NaKh uses these forms not only at a "pause" (i.e an etnachta or sof posuq), but also in cases of parallelismus membrorum, as the example we mentioned from the 10 Commandments (אַתָּ֣ה׀ וּבִנְךָ֣ וּבִתֶּ֗ךָ עַבְדְּךָ֤ וַאֲמָֽתְךָ֙
וּבְהֶמְתֶּ֔ךָ וְגֵֽרְךָ֖ אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּשְׁעָרֶֽיךָ׃). Chazal also use the pausal form, regularly in cases of parallelismus membrorum, as in the example from Birkhot Q'ri'as Sh'ma‘,</div>
