Exegesis
The sequence vehayah kaasher tarid {וְהָיָה כַּאֲשֶׁר תָּרִיד | wə-hā-yāh ka-ʾă-šer tā-rîḏ} forms a temporal-conditional construction: ‘and it will be, when you grow restless’, where vehayah functions as a discourse marker introducing a future situation, and kaasher links the protasis to the apodosis. The verb tarid, a Qal imperfect, depicts an inner state of continual restlessness or chafing under domination.
In context — Genesis 27:40
And you will live by your sword , and you will serve your brother; but when you grow restless , you will break off his yoke from upon your neck.
