Exegesis
The infinitive le-hach’is {לְהַכְעִיס | lə-ḥaḵ-ʼîs} ‘to provoke’ functions as a purpose clause targeting et-Yisra’el {אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל | ʻeṯ Yiś-rā-ʼēl} ‘Israel’ and et-YHWH Elohei Yisra’el {אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | ʻeṯ Yə-hō-wāh ʼĕ-lō-hê Yiś-rā-ʼēl} ‘the LORD the God of Israel’, with the prepositional phrase be-havleihem {בְּהַבְלֵיהֶם | bə-hav-lê-hem} ‘with their vanities’ indicating the means of provocation. The parallel structure of sin and provocation highlights the causative relationship between human actions and divine reaction.
