Exegesis
In the reply, the existential yesh {יֵשׁ | yēš} ‘there is’ precedes the divine name layhwh {לַיהוָה | la-yə-hô-wāh} ‘the LORD’, creating emphasis, and the infinitival purpose clause latet lekha harbeh mizeh {לָתֶת לְךָ הַרְבֵּה מִזֶּה | lāṯēṯ lə-kā harbē mizzeh} ‘to give you much more than this’ preserves the beneficiary and comparative construction. The repetition of vayomer frames a dialogic inclusio, accentuating the contrast between human outlay and divine bounty.
