فَإِذَا زَادَتْ وَاحِدَةً: فَفِيهَا شَاتَانِ إِلَى مِائَتَيْنِ.
Translation: When the flock increases by one beyond that boundary, two animals are due up to two hundred.
At 120 animals, one is due. On reaching 121, the liability becomes two animals. Thus, the expression “up to 120” includes 120 in the first bracket rather than placing it in the next.
This single-animal boundary matters in practical assessments and prevents mistaken calculations at 120 or 121.
