Exegesis
The verb uvarkhu {וּבָרְכוּ | ū·var·khu} ‘and they shall bless’ in the Piel imperfect third person masculine plural follows, functioning as a purpose/result clause for “atonement,” with the direct object marker et {אֶת | ʾēṯ} linking to nachalat YHWH {נַחֲלַת יְהוָה | na·ḥa·lāt Yə·hō·wāh} ‘the inheritance of the LORD’. English structure mirrors Hebrew flow, preserving interrogatives and causal relationships within the dialogue.
In context — 2 Samuel 21:3
And David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you, and with what shall I make atonement so that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD ?”
