Exegesis

The relative clause ’ă-sher yiv-ḥar YHWH Elohekha lā-sum šə-mô šām {אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִבְחַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ לָשׂ֥וּם שְׁמ֖וֹ שָׁ֑ם‎ | ’ă-sher yiv-ḥar Yə-hō-wāh ’ĕ-lō-hê-khā lā-sûm šə-mô šām} ‘which the LORD your God chooses to put his name there’ emphasizes divine selection of a sacred site.

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.
