Exegesis
The phrase min-ha-chorim {מִן־הַחֹרִים | min-ha-ḥōrîm} introduces the source, while the relative clause asher hitchabbeʾu-sham {אֲשֶׁר הִתְחַבְּאוּ־שָׁם | ʾăšer hitḥabbəʾū-šām} employs a Hitpaʿel perfect to underscore agentive concealment. This structure preserves Hebrew sequential flow and dramatic emphasis in the English renderings.
