Exegesis
The first clause pairs the noun phrase rov hashanim {רֹ֣ב הַשָּׁנִ֗ים | rōḇ ha-šānîm} ‘abundance of years’ with the Hiphil imperfect tarbeh {תַּרְבֶּה֙ | taṯ-rĕ-bê} ‘you shall increase’ and its object miknato {מִקְנָת֔וֹ | miq-nāṯô} ‘his purchase’.
In context — Leviticus 25:16
In accordance with the abundance of years, you shall increase his purchase , and in accordance with the scarcity of years, you shall diminish his purchase, for it is the number of harvests that he is selling to you.
