Exegesis
The relative pronoun ʼăšer {אֲשֶׁ֥ר | ʼăšer} ‘which’ introduces the modifying clause, with hôraštānû {הֽוֹרַשְׁתָּֽנוּ | hôraštānû} ‘you have caused us to inherit’ specifying the divine act. Hebrew word order places the purpose infinitives before the beneficiary phrase, intensifying the threat, while the construct chain underscores personal divine promise.
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:11
And behold, they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of Your inheritance , which You have caused us to inherit.
