Exegesis
A series of relative clauses introduced by ʾăšer {אֲשֶׁר | ʾăšer} specifies original marking by rîʾšōnîm {רִאשֹׁנִים | rîʾšōnîm}, situates the space in bə-naḥălātəkā {בְּנַחֲלָתְךָ | bə-naḥălātəkā}, and frames inheritance with tīnaḥal bāʾāreṣ {תִּנְחַל בָּאָרֶץ | tīnaḥal bāʾāreṣ}. The final relative clause asher Yə-hō-wāh ʾĕlōhêkā nōṯēn lekha lə-rišṯāh subordinates the territory under ongoing divine grant. This cumulative relative structure builds legal precision and theological emphasis on covenantal possession.
In context — Deuteronomy 19:14
You shall not move the boundary of your neighbor, which the former ones set, in your inheritance which you are to inherit in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
