Exegesis
The direct object na‘ar {נַעַר | na-‘ar} identifies the lad.
The final nominal clause shalom ’atta ve-ein ra‘ah {שָׁלֹם אַתָּה וְאֵן רָעָה | šā-lôm ’ăttā wə-’ên ra-‘āh} asserts well-being without a copula. The structure moves from instruction to conditional signaling to assured safety, underlining covenantal trust.
