Exegesis
The prepositional phrase mipnei bnei Yisrael {מִפְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | mippə-nê bᵊ-nê Yîs-rā-ʾēl} ‘from before the sons of Israel’ underscores the covenantal context. The sequence of perfect verbs followed by a relative clause contrasts prior divine judgment with Israel’s subsequent apostasy.
