VERSE: Dt07-12b

======================== Dt07-12b =======================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the
laws of Grammar. One law of grammar  deals
with CONDITIONAL (if-then) statements.

Even programming languages differ in their
treatment of IF-THEN statements. Some program
langauges REQUIRE use of KEYWORDS (IF such
and such THEN such and such) This helps avoid
ambiguity. But other languages are not so
explicit.

The Hebrew letter VAV can equally mean AND or
IF-THEN. Hence Rashi when viewing a sequence
of clauses connected by VAV must indicate
which VAV means AND and which means THEN.

So we translate Dt07-12 as follows
--- As a consequence of listening
AND Observing
AND Doing these commandments
THEN
---- God will watch the convenant...
AND He will Love you
AND He will bless you
