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.’
The direct object marker ʾet {אֶת־ | ’et} foregrounds the promised territory. The word order preserves the pacing of the gradual conquest narrative.
