Exegesis
The vav-consecutive wā’āšēḇ {וָאָשֵׁב | wā’āšēḇ} advances the narrative to “and I returned,” while ka’ăšer with im levavi {כַּאֲשֶׁר | ka’ăšer; עִם־לְבָבִֽי | ’im ləḇāḇî} forms a comparative phrase conveying fidelity to inner conviction. The English rendition preserves Hebrew clause order and idiomatic structures to reflect the original flow.
In context — Joshua 14:7
I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land , and I brought him back word just as it was with my heart.
