Exegesis
A second vav-consecutive perfect, va’asitem {וַעֲשִׂיתֶם | wa-ʿă-šî-tem} ‘and you shall do,’ transitions from obligation to enactment, reinforced by the resumptive pronoun otam {אֹתָם | ʾō-ṯām} ‘them.’
In context — Leviticus 19:37
And you shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and you shall carry them out. I am the LORD.
