Exegesis
The relative particle ʾăšer {אֲשֶׁר־ | ʾăšer} introduces the clause specifying YHWH ʾĕlōhêkha {יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ | YHWH ʾĕlōhêkha} ‘the LORD your God’ as the subject of nōṯēn {נֹתֵן | nōṯēn} ‘gives’ lāḵā {לָךְ | lāḵā} ‘to you.’ English SVO order conveys the prohibition clearly while retaining divine agency and covenant context.
