Exegesis
The additive conjunction veaf {וְאַף | və-’af} ‘and also’ introduces a parallel clause intensified by the construct chain baavonot avotam {בַּעֲוֺנֹת אֲבֹתָם | ba-ʿă-wo-nōṯ ’a-vo-tām} ‘in the iniquities of their fathers’, and the final imperfect yimmaku {יִמָּקוּ | yim-mā-qû} ‘shall waste away’ mirrors the opening verb, forming a chiastic parallelism that underscores inevitable judgment.
In context — Leviticus 26:39
And those who remain among you will waste away in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they will waste away with them.
