Exegesis
The accusative marker et {אֵת | ʾēt} precedes asher-asah {אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה | ʼăšer-ʿāśāh} and asher-sam {אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם | ʼăšer-śām}, two relative clauses that detail Amalek’s offense and context. The sequence ba-dereḵ ba-ʿălōtô mimmīṣrāyim links the ambush directly to Israel’s exodus route, tightening the narrative’s temporal and spatial frame.
