Exegesis
The relative clause asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} “which” introduces a defining clause with the verb nā-ṯān {נָתַן | nā-ṯān} “he gave” in Qal perfect third person masculine singular, followed by the beneficiary phrase lā-ḵā {לָךְ | lā-ḵā} “to you.” The Hebrew VSO order and parallel prepositional construction underscore a correlative structure between divine provision and human giving. In English the sequence is rendered in SVO order while preserving the proportional and causal relationships.
