Exegesis
The particle et {אֶת־ | ʾet} introduces the specific corpus of stipulations hakhukkim ha’eleh {הֽ͏ַחֻקִּ֖ים הָאֵֽלֶּה | hā-ḥuqqîm hā-ʾêlleh} ‘these statutes’, underscoring their definiteness. In English, these sequences are rendered through conjunctions and punctuation to preserve the legal discourse progression from motive to mandate.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:12
And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall carefully keep and do these statutes .
