Exegesis
The comparative conjunction ka'asher {כַּאֲשֶׁר | ka-’ă-šer} introduces two parallel obedience clauses: first referencing shalcha aleihem {שָׁלְחָה אֲלֵיהֶם | šā-l-ḥâ ’ă-lê-hem} from Jezebel, and then katov bassefarim {כָּתוּב בַּסְּפָרִים | qā-tūb ba-sə-pā-rîm} affirming the written directive. English syntax is arranged into clear subject–predicate order while preserving Hebrew parallelism and emphatic structure.
