Exegesis

The relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁר֙ | ’ă·šer} ‘which’ contains the Hiphil perfect horish {הוֹרִ֣ישׁ | hô·rîš} ‘he dispossessed,’ immediately followed by the subject YHWH {יְהוָ֔ה | Yəhōwāh} ‘LORD’ and the locative phrase mipnei b’nei yisra’el {מִפְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | mip·pə·nê bə·nê yiś·rā·’ēl} ‘from before the sons of Israel’ to denote prior divine dispossession. English SVO order is preserved while maintaining Hebrew verb–subject emphasis and highlighting YHWH’s evaluative and dispossessive roles.
