Exegesis
The conjunction ule-khol-ha-katov {וּלְכָל־הַכָּתוּב֙ | ū-lə-khol-ha-kā-tōv} “and for all that is written” leads into the scope of obligations noted in betorat {בְּתוֹרַ֣ת | bə-tō-rát} “in the law,” while the relative clause asher tzivah {אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה | ’ă-šer ṣiv-vâh} “which He commanded” with al-yisra'el {עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | ‘al-yis-rā-’el} “concerning Israel” underscores divine authority. The English sequence preserves the Hebrew purpose structure with balanced infinitives for command and obedience.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:40
To offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually , in the morning and in the evening, and to do all that is written in the law of the LORD, which He commanded for Israel.
