Exegesis
The temporal clause ad asher-yetzamach {עַד אֲשֶׁר־יְצַמַּ֥ח | ʿad ʾăšer-yĕṣammāḥ} ‘until it grows’ attaches to zekankhem {זְקַנְכֶ֖ם | zᵉqānḵem} ‘your beard’, and the perfect veshavtem {וְשַׁבְתֶּֽם | wə-šāḇtēm} ‘and you return’ indicates the consequence. English syntax shifts to subject–verb–object, and Hebrew idioms like “grow beard” are rendered literally to preserve cultural nuance.
Root and etymology
s-r
“to command”
In context — 1 Chronicles 19:5
And they went and told David about the men, and he sent to meet them because the men were greatly humiliated. Then the king said, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
