Exegesis
The relative clause ʾăšer hōriš YHWH ʾōṯām mipnē bənē yiśrāʾēl {אֲשֶׁר הוֹרִישׁ יְהוָה אֹתָם מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | ʾăšer hōriš YHWH ʾōṯām mipnē bənē yiśrāʾēl} ‘which the LORD dispossessed from before the sons of Israel’ provides the causal-historical background, with the hiphil emphasizing divine agency in expulsion. English preserves the Hebrew narrative sequence and clause structure.
