Exegesis
The following vav-consecutive imperfect ve-ettenah {וְאֶתְּנָה | wə-ʾeṭ-tə-nāh} ‘and I will give’ introduces the promised gift, with the beneficiary lekha {לְךָ | lə-ḵā} ‘to you’ marked by a pronominal suffix and mattat {מַתָּת | mat-tāt} ‘gift’ following. The Hebrew structure leverages vav-consecutive sequences to link narrative action, invitation, and promise, rendered in English with coordination and future tense.
