Exegesis
The Qal imperfect tiphreh {תִּפְרֶה | tīphréh} ‘you shall be fruitful’ presents the condition, and the vav consecutive in wənakhalta {וְנָחַלְתָּ | wə-nāḥalttā} links it to the inheritance of ha'arets {הָאָֽרֶץ | hāʾāreṣ} ‘the land.’
Root and etymology
“to inherit, possess”
In context — Exodus 23:30
Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you are fruitful and you inherit the land.
