Exegesis
The relative pronoun ’ăšer {אֲשֶׁר | ’ă-šer} ‘which’ links to yō-rū-ḵā {יוֹרוּךָ | yō-rū-ḵā} ‘they instruct you,’ highlighting teaching authority.
The conjunction wə-‘al {וְעַל־ | wə-‘al} ‘and according to’ parallels ham-miš-p̄ā-ṭ {הַמִּשְׁפָּט | ham-miš-p̄ā-ṭ} ‘judgment,’ followed by another ’ăšer {אֲשֶׁר־ | ’ă-šer} ‘which’ and yō-mə-rû {יֹאמְר֥וּ | yō-mə-rû} ‘they say,’ setting up the expectation in ta-‘ă-śeh {תַּעֲשֶׂ֑ה | ta-‘ă-śeh} ‘you shall do.’
The prohibition lō’ tā-śûr {לֹ֣א תָס֗וּר | lō’ tā-śûr} ‘you shall not turn aside’ uses min {מִן־ | min} ‘from’ and ha-dā-bār {הַדָּבָר | ha-dā-bār} ‘the word,’ leading to yag-gî-ḏû {יַגִּ֥ידֽוּ | yag-gî-ḏû} ‘they declare.’
