Exegesis
The clause begins with the conjunction ve-khi {וְכִֽי־ | wə-ḵî} introducing a conditional scenario.
The imperfect verb yā-gūr {יָגוּר֩ | yā-gūr} functions as the protasis predicate, followed by the subject gēr {גֵּ֜ר | gēr}, expanded by the relative phrase ʾă-šer-bə-to-ḵe-khem {אֲשֶֽׁר־בְּתוֹכְכֶם֙ | ʾă-šer bə-to-ḵe-khem} ‘who is among you.’
In context — Numbers 15:14
And when a sojourner is among you in every generation and offers a fire offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD , just as you do, so shall he do.
