Exegesis
The prepositional phrase kekol {כְּכֹל | kə-kōl} ‘according to all’ plus the relative clause asher-yushat {אֲשֶׁר־יוּשָׁת | ʾă-šer-yū-šat} ‘that is imposed’ establishes proportionality, and the final alav {עָלָיו | ʿā-lav} ‘on him’ forms an inclusio that underscores personal responsibility. The Hebrew structure is reflected in English by preserving the conditional form and parallel phrasing.
Root and etymology
