Exegesis
The relative clause asher {אֲשֶׁ֤ר | ʾă-šer} ‘who’ qualifies the subject, leading to the imperfect verb yishkav {יִשְׁכַּב֙ | yiš-kav} ‘lies down’ with the direct object phrase et-kallato {אֶת־כַּלָּת֔וֹ | ʾet kal-lā-to} ‘his daughter-in-law’.
In context — Leviticus 20:12
Any man who lies with his daughter-in-law shall surely be put to death; they have committed perversion , and their blood shall be upon them.
