Exegesis
The Hebrew conditional protasis begins with veim {וְאִם | wə-ʾim} ‘and if,’ marking a potential covenant breach.
The imperfect telekhu {תֵּלְכוּ | têl-ə-ḵû} ‘you walk’ with the prepositional suffix in immi {עִמִּי | ʿimmî} ‘with me’ and the noun qeri {קֶרִי | qerî} ‘hostility’ forms a construct emphasizing volitional rebellion.
In context — Leviticus 26:21
And if you walk with Me in hostility , and are not willing to listen to Me, then I will add upon you a blow seven times according to your sins.
