Exegesis
The coordinating ve-chol asher {וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר | wə-ḵól ʾă-šer} ‘and all that’ broadens the scope, and the nominal clause vechatato asher chata {וְחַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר חָטָא | wə-ḥaṭ-tā-tō ʾă-šer ḥā-ṭāʾ} ‘and his sin which he sinned’ uses a relative clause for emphasis.

In context — 2 Kings 21:17
And the remainder of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
