Exegesis
The clause haarets asher attah shochev aleha {הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה שֹׁכֵב עָלֶיהָ} places ‘the land’ at the head, with the relative asher specifying Jacob’s exact location and grounding the promise. The fronting of lekha ‘to you’ before etnenah ‘I will give it’ uses the energic nun to stress certainty, and the coordinate ulzar’ekha extends the promise to Jacob’s offspring. The English rendering mirrors the Hebrew word order while smoothing for clarity and retains the participial aspect through past progressive.
In context — Genesis 28:13
And behold, the LORD was standing above it, and He said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your forefather and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying, I will give to you and to your descendants.”
