Exegesis
In the apodosis, the vav-consecutive veyasapti {וְיָסַפְתִּי | wə-yāsaptî} ‘and I will add’ introduces intensified divine response with alekhem {עֲלֵיכֶם | ʿălêkem} ‘upon you’ and makkah {מַכָּה | makkāh} ‘blow.’
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.
