Exegesis
The relative clause bekol asher teaveh nafshekha {בְּכֹל֩ אֲשֶׁר־תְּאַוֶּ֨ה נַפְשְׁךָ֜ | bə-kol ʾă-šer tə-ʾa-weh nap̄-šə-kha} uses the particle asher {אֲשֶׁר־ | ʾă-šer} to link totality with desire. The sequence babakar, uvatzon, uvayayin, and uvashhekar enumerates purchase categories, and the second relative clause uvechol asher tisholkha nafshekha intensifies choice.
