Exegesis

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.
