Exegesis
The second et {אֶת־ | ʾet} marks haʿêdût {הָעֵדֻת | ha-ʿê-dûṯ} ‘the testimony’, which is defined by the relative clause etten ēleḵā {אֶתֵּן אֵלֶיךָ | ʾet-tēn ʾē-le-ḵā} ‘I will give to you’, highlighting divine promise. The parallel imperatives create a twofold ritual action, maintaining the Hebrew vav-consecutive while arranging objects to meet English readability.
In context — Exodus 25:21
And you shall place the cover upon the ark from above, and into the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give to you.
