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

And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, “Even if you detain me, I will not eat of your bread ; but if you prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD.” For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.
