Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} with the conditional im {אִם | ʾim} forms a restrictive contrast demanding singular loyalty.
The bound form im-et-ye-ho-WAH attaches the direct object marker ’et {אֶת | ʾet} to YHWH Eloheikhem {יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם | Yə-hō-wāh ʾĕ-lō-hê-khem}, which functions as the sole object of the Qal imperfect tira’u {תִּירָאוּ | tī-rā-ʼû}.
Root and etymology
