Exegesis
A subsequent relative asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} ‘that/which’ leads to natan {נָתַן | nā-tan} ‘has given’, attributing the action to YHWH elohekha {יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ | Yə-hō-wāh ʾĕ-lō-hê-ḵā}, and the closing suffix lakh {לָךְ | lakh} ‘to you’ marks the recipient. The Hebrew parataxis and repeated vav-chains inform the formal semicolon structure, while the dynamic version opts for a streamlined English list.
