Exegesis
The relative pronoun ʾă-šer {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} ‘which’ introduces a defining clause with tittenu {תִּתְּנוּ | tit-ten-ū} ‘you shall give’ and laYHWH {לַיהוָה | la-Yə-hō-wāh} ‘to the LORD’ functioning as the indirect object. The cumulative parallelism underscores comprehensive exclusion while preserving connection to divine worship
Root and etymology

Apart from the Sabbaths of the LORD , and apart from your gifts , and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your freewill offerings, which you shall give to the LORD
