Exegesis
The relative pronouns asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʼă-šer} ‘which’ and va-asher {וַאֲשֶׁר | wa-ʼă-šer} ‘and which’ introduce two perfect clauses: the Qal perfect chate’u {חָטְאוּ | ḥā-ṭə-ʼû} ‘they sinned’ and the Hiphil perfect hechti’u {הֶחֱטִיאוּ | he-ḥe-ṭî-ʼû} ‘they caused to sin’, distinguishing personal transgression from leading Israel astray.
