Exegesis
The conditional im yishmeru la'asot {אִם יִשְׁמְרוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת | ʼim yišmerû laʼăśôt} “if they keep doing” introduces the covenant stipulation, detailed by kekhol asher tsivvitim {כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִים | kəkōl ʼăšer ṣîwwîtîm} and ulekol hatorah asher-tsivah otam avdi Mosheh {וּלְכָל־הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה אֹתָם עַבְדִּי מֹשֶׁה | û-lə-kōl hattôrāh ʼăšer-ṣîwwāh ʾōṭām ʿabdî mōšē}, linking obedience to divine commands and Mosaic law. The paratactic sequence underscores the shift from threat to conditional promise.
