Exegesis

The perfect waw-consecutive wə·hā·yāh-qê·ṣeph {וְהָֽיָה־קֶ֥צֶף | wə·hā·yāh-qê·ṣeph} ‘and there will be wrath’ indicates the consequence, and the closing imperatives kôh taʿăśûn wə·lōʾ teʾašmû {כֹּ֥ה תַעֲשׂ֖וּן וְלֹ֥א תֶאְשָֽׁמוּ | kôh taʿăśûn wə·lōʾ teʾašmû} ‘thus you shall do and not incur guilt’ frame the directive with its negative corollary.
