Exegesis
The construct phrase ettorat YHWH {אֶת־תּוֹרַ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה | ’et-tōrāt Yəhōwāh} serves as the direct object, and ve-khol-yisrael immo {וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עִמּֽוֹ | wə-ḵōl-yisrā’ēl ’immō} indicates collective participation. The repeated vav clauses emphasize a cause-and-effect link between consolidated authority and apostasy, and rendering the infinitives as subordinate clauses preserves the temporal continuity of the Hebrew narrative.
