Exegesis
A cascading series of vav conjunctions links the results: we-shakhav be-salmato {וְשָׁכַב בְּשַׂלְמָתוֹ | wə-šā-khav bə-sal-mā-tô} ‘and he will lie down in his garment’, and u-verakhekha {וּבֵֽרֲכֶ֑ךָּ | wə-ber-ă-kê-ḵā} ‘and he will bless you’ underscore reciprocal grace.
In context — Deuteronomy 24:13
You must surely return the pledge to him at sunset so that he may lie down in his garment and bless you, and that will count as righteousness for you before the LORD your God .
