Exegesis
The vav consecutive in veahavta {וְאָהַבְתָּ | wəʾāhavtā} marks the main imperative ‘and you shall love,’ with kamokha {כָּמוֹךָ | kāmōḵā} ‘as yourself’ serving as the comparative complement.
In context — Leviticus 19:34
As the native-born among you, the foreigner who sojourns with you shall be like one born among you; and you shall love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God .
