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.

In contextDeuteronomy 17:10

And you shall act according to the command that they declare to you from the place that the LORD chooses, and you shall be careful to do everything that they instruct you.
