Exegesis
The apodosis taʿăśeh {תַּעֲשֶׂה | ta-ʿă-śeh} ‘you shall do’ extends the obligation to ʿimmādî {עִמָּדִי | ʿim-mā-dî} ‘with me’ and to the land via wəʿim-hāʾāreṣ {וְעִם־הָאָרֶץ | wə-ʿim-hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘and with the land’ and its defining relative clause ʾăšer gārəttā bāh {אֲשֶׁר־גַּרְתָּה בָּהּ | ʾă-šer-gar-rə-tā-bāh} ‘in which you have sojourned’. The structure preserves the legal force of the oath while clarifying generational scope and covenantal reciprocity in English subordinate clauses.
