Exegesis
The second relative clause va-asher-hu oseh {וַאֲשֶׁר־הוּא עֹשֶׂה | wa-ʾă-šer-hûʾ ʿō-śeh} ‘whatever he was doing’ introduces comprehensive scope, and the final clause YHWH matsliakh {יְהוָה מַצְלִיחַ | Yə-hō-wāh maṣ-lî-aḥ} foregrounds the LORD as the active source of successful outcomes. In English, participles are rendered as past habitual to match narrative style, and relative clauses are rendered with ‘because’ and ‘whatever’ to preserve causal and universal conditional relationships.
