Exegesis
The apodosis begins with the emphatic anokhi {אָנֹכִ֖י | ʾā-nō-ḵî} ‘I’, then the judicial idiom edrosh meimmo {אֶדְרֹ֥שׁ מֵעִמּֽוֹ | ʾed-rōš mē-ʿim-mō} ‘I will require from him’, establishing divine accountability under the covenant. The vav-consecutive perfect frames a future obligation within this legal stipulation.
