Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is שָׁמַרְתָּ֛, you shall keep, which governs the entire clause. The structure is straightforward, with the subject and verb followed by the object and its modifiers, clearly outlining the command and its details.
The phrase הַחֻקָּ֥ה is the object of the verb, indicating what is to be kept. The prepositional phrase לְמוֹעֲדָ֑הּ specifies the time frame, while the concluding phrase מִיָּמִ֖ים יָמִֽימָה emphasizes the regularity of this observance.
