Exegesis
The prepositional phrases lasova {לָשֹׂבַ֑ע | lā-sō-ʿa} ‘to satisfaction’ and labetach {לָבֶ֖טַח | lā-ḇe-ṭaḥ} ‘securely’ specify the extent and security of provision, with aleha {עָלֶֽיהָ | ʿā-le-hā} ‘upon her’ anchoring the dwelling literally upon the land. This strict vav-consecutive narrative flow and layered prepositional modifiers underscore the causality between the land’s yield and Israel’s full and safe settlement.
In context — Leviticus 25:19
And the land will give her fruit, and you will eat to satisfaction , and you will dwell securely upon her.
