Exegesis

The causal prepositional phrase el-haka‘as {אֶל־הַכַּעַס | ʾel-ha-ka-ʿas} ‘to the anger’ is followed by the relative marker asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer}, leading into two coordinated Hiphil clauses: hich‘asta {הִכְעַסְתָּ | hiḵ-ʿaś-tāʾ} ‘you provoked’ and vatechatti {וַתַּחֲטִא | wa-ṯa-ḥa-ṭīʾ} ‘and you caused to sin.’
