"Im bechukosai talaicho" Rashi explains it to mean, if you toil in torah. Explanation is needed why toiling in torah is expressed as a 'chok'- something done without knowing the reason behind it.
The Or Hachaim starts this weeks Parsha with forty two different ways to explain the first posok. In his first explanation he says that while all learning of torah is important, that's not what the special brochas of the Parsha are for. Rather it's for the learning one does for the sake of learning, the third, forth and fifth time one learns, when he already knows what is being said, but learns it just as it would be his first time. It is this learning that the Torah calls a 'chok' something we do for no apparent reason. When Klal Yisroel's learning is on such an elevated level, then they're zoche to the brochos stated in this weeks Parsha.
