Exegesis
The imperfect verb tirshu {תִּֽירְשׁ֣וּ | tir-šû} ‘you shall inherit’ and the cohortative ettennah {אֶתְּנֶ֤נָּה | ʾet-tə-nā(h)} ‘I will give (it)’ form a parallel construction emphasizing divine grant and human reception.
In context — Leviticus 20:24
But I said to you, "You will inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess—a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God , who has set you apart from the nations."
