Exegesis
The relative clause asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} links to nasati yadi {נָשָׂאתִי יָדִי | nā-śā-ṯî yā-ḏî}, an idiom for making a solemn oath, forming a purpose statement with the infinitive latet {לָתֵת | lā-ṯēt}.
In context — Ezekiel 20:28
And I brought them to the land which I lifted up my hand to give to them; and they saw every high hill and every thick tree, and there they sacrificed their sacrifices and presented the provocation of their offering. There they placed the fragrance of their soothing aromas and poured out their drink offerings.
