Exegesis
The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁ֥ר | ʾăšer} ‘which’ introduces a subordinate clause, where the Qal participle noten {נֹתֵ֥ן | nōtēn} ‘(am) giving’ emphasizes continuous divine bestowal. English rendering preserves the imperative and temporal structure while highlighting divine agency and the promise of inheritance.
In context — Numbers 15:2
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, “When you come into the land of your dwellings which I am giving to you.”
