Exegesis
The apodosis is completed by unetanah lakh {וּנְתָנָ֖הּ לָֽךְ | wə-nə-tā-nāh lā-ḵā} ‘and He gives it to you.’ The use of the vav-consecutive sequence underlines the progression of divine actions within a covenantal legal formula.
In context — Exodus 13:11
And it shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanite , as He swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you.
