Exegesis
The infinitive construct la‘asotah {לַעֲשֹׂתָהּ | la-‘ăśôtāh} “to do it” explicates the action, while the relative clause ’asher ’ănōkî mĕṣavvêḵā hayyôm {אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּוֹם | ’ăšer ’ănōḵî məṣavvêḵā hayyôm} frames it as direct divine speech.
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.
