Exegesis

The temporal boundary ʿad-ʼavādkhem {עַד־אֲבָדְכֶ֗ם | ʿad-ʼavādkhem} ‘until your perishing’ ties the warning to Israel’s fate, and hāʾădāmah hattôvāh hazzōṯ {הָאֲדָמָה הַטּוֹבָה הַזֹּאת | hāʾădāmah hattôvāh hazzōṯ} ‘this good land’ grounds the threat in the promised inheritance. English syntax preserves Hebrew parallelism and emphatic structure.
