Exegesis
A contrasting condition wəʾim-taʿăśeh {וְאִם־תַּעֲשֶׂה | wəʾim taʿăśeh} ‘and if you make’ leads to the noun ʾôlāh {עֹלָה | ʾôlāh} ‘burnt offering’ and the Hif‘il imperfect taʿălennâh {תַּעֲלֶנָּה | taʿălennâh} ‘you shall offer it up’, with the prepositional lə-YHWH {לַיהוָה | layhôwâ} marking the recipient.

In context — Judges 13:16
