Exegesis

The destination phrase bêṯ YHWH {בֵּית יְהוָה | bêṯ YHWH} identifies the sacred locus affected, while mipnê {מִפְּנֵי | mipnê} ‘because of’ introduces the political cause, tying the rerouting to pressure associated with the Assyrian king. The translation “diverted/rerouted … away from the house” reflects the verb’s turning-aside sense and the absence of an explicit preposition, which allows the idea of redirecting traffic or access in relation to the temple precincts.
