Exegesis
The second vav-consecutive perfect vehayah {וְהָיָ֣ה | wə-hā-yāh} introduces the result clause, with mishneh {מִשְׁנֶ֔ה | miš-neh} “double” governed by al {עַ֥ל | ʿal} and the relative clause ăšer-yil-qə-ṭû {אֲשֶֽׁר־יִלְקְט֖וּ | ʾă-šer-yil-qə-ṭû} “what they gather,” forming a comparative construction.
In context — Exodus 16:5
On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be double of what they gather each day .
