Exegesis
The verse opens with the conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} indicating a conditional sense, followed by the finite verb tishmor {תִשְׁמֹר | tišmôr} “you shall keep,” which takes et-kol-ham-mitzvah-hazot {אֶת־כָּל־הַמִּצְוָ֨ה הַזֹּ֜את | ʾet-kol-hammîṣwâh-hazzôt} as its direct object.
In context — Deuteronomy 19:9
If you keep all this commandment to do it, which I am commanding you today, to love the LORD your God and to walk in His ways all the days, then you shall add for yourself three more cities upon these three.
