Exegesis
The nominal phrase eqev rav {עֵקֶב רָב | ʿê-qēv rāḇ} pairs eqev ‘consequence’ with rav ‘abundant,’ forming an adjective-noun structure that intensifies the promise. These clauses form a balanced parallelism of warning and reward, emphasizing the covenantal principle that obedience yields benefit.
