Exegesis
The vav-consecutive verb veasapta {וְאָסַפְתָּ֖ | wə-ʾā-spaṯā} indicates the subsequent gathering event, introduced again by et-tevūāṯāh {אֶת־תְּבוּאָתָֽהּ | ʾet-tevūʾāṯāh} ‘its produce’. This pairing of imperfect sowing and consequent perfect gathering constructs a brisk, cyclical rhythm, emphasizing disciplined stewardship of the land.
In context — Exodus 23:10
For six years you shall sow your land and gather its produce .
