Exegesis

vav with yāspaṯā {וְיָסַפְתָּ | wə-yāspaṯā} marks the resultant addition, with lĕḵā ’ôḏ šālōš ’ărîm ʿal ha-šālōš hā-’êleh {לְךָ עוֹד שָׁלֹשׁ עָרִים עַל הַשָּׁלֹשׁ הָאֵלֶּה | ləḵā ’ôḏ šālōš ’ărîm ʿal-ha-šālōš hā-’êleh} specifying the enlargement of refuge cities. The English reconstructions preserve Hebrew parataxis and highlight the covenantal link between obedience, love, and divine provision.
