Exegesis
The imperative shit {שִׁית | šîṯ} ‘set’ governs the object libekha {לִבְּךָ | liḇ·ḵā} ‘your heart,’ while the prepositional phrase laadarim {לַעֲדָרִים | la·ʿă·dā·rîm} ‘to the herds’ specifies scope. This parallelism of cognitive and volitional imperatives (infinitive absolute + imperfect alongside an imperative) creates a chiastic balance that underscores both knowledge and dedication in responsible stewardship.
