Exegesis

Inside the quotation, the demonstrative zeh ḥasdêkh {זֶ֣ה חַסְדֵּ֔ךְ | zeh ḥas-dêkh} ‘this is your kindness’ defines the favor requested, with the relative clause ʾăšer taʿăśî ʿimmādî {אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעֲשִׂ֖י עִמָּדִ֑י | ʾă-šer ta-ʿă-śî ʿim-mā-dî} expressing an ongoing obligation.

In contextGenesis 20:13

And it happened that when God caused me to wander from my father’s house , I said to her, “This is your kindness which you shall do for me: in every place we reach, say of me, ‘He is my brother.’”
