Exegesis
It is followed by two parallel prepositional phrases ke-mat-nat yā-ḏô {כְּמַתְּנַת יָדוֹ | kə-mat-tə-nat yā-ḏô} “according to the gift of his hand” and ke-vir-kat YHWH Eloheikha {כְּבִרְכַּת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ | kə-vir-kaṯ Yə-hō-wāh ʾĕ-lō-hê-kā} “according to the blessing of the LORD your God,” both introduced by the prefixed preposition ke-. In kematnat yā-ḏô the construct noun yā-ḏô “his hand” idiomatically denotes personal capacity.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:17
Each man shall give according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given to you.
