Exegesis

The second vav-consecutive Qal perfect ve-shamarta {וְשָׁמַרְתָּ | wə-šam-mar-tā} ‘and you shall be careful’ creates a syntactic parallelism, followed by the infinitive la-asot {לַעֲשׂוֹת | la-ʿă-sōṯ} ‘to do’ and the distributive construction ke-kol {כְּכֹל | kə-ḵōl} ‘according to all’, linked by asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} to the Hiphil imperfect yorukha {יוֹרֽוּךָ | yō-rū-ḵā} ‘they instruct you’. This sequence of relative clauses and vav-consecutives highlights a graded chain of authority, emphasizing obedience to divinely sanctioned judicial decisions.
