Exegesis
The verse employs a sequence of vav-consecutive verbs—vehayetah {וְהָיְתָ֣ה | və-hā-yə-tā} “and it shall be,” vekara {וְקָ֥רָא | və-qā-rāʾ} “and he shall read,” and yilmad {יִלְמַ֗ד | yi-lə-māḏ} “he may learn”—to establish the ongoing nature of the king’s duty.
In context — Deuteronomy 17:19
And it shall remain with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God , to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, and to do them.
