Exegesis
This protasis precedes the apodosis venatatti {וְנָתַתִּי | wə-nā-ṯat-tî} ‘then I will give’, which introduces the reward clause lo et akhsah biti le-ishah {ל֛וֹ אֶת־עַכְסָה בִתִּי לְאִשָּׁה | lō ʾet-ʿă-ḵā-sāh bi-ṯî lə-ʾiš-šāh}. The waw-consecutive on vayomer and venatatti indicates narrative sequence.
Root and etymology
