Exegesis

The verse opens with a conditional protasis introduced by vekhi-yirbeh {וְכִֽי־יִרְבֶּ֨ה‎ | wə-kî-yir-béh} ‘and if it becomes too much’, setting a hypothetical scenario.

Finally, the concluding clause ki yəvārəkhā YHWH Elohekha {כִּ֥י יְבָרֶכְךָ֖ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ‎ | kî yə-vā-rə-ḵā Yə-hō-wāh ’ĕ-lō-hê-khā} ‘since the LORD your God blesses you’ provides the theological rationale, linking abundance to the worship requirement. This sequence of conditional and causal clauses underscores both human limitation and divine provision in framing the worship directive.

In context — Deuteronomy 14:24

But if the way is too much for you because you cannot carry it, because the place the LORD your God chooses to put his name is distant from you, since the LORD your God blesses you .
