Exegesis
A first relative clause, asher horish YHWH {אֲשֶׁר הוֹרִ֣ישׁ יְהוָ֔ה | ʾă·šer hôrîš YHWH} ‘which the LORD dispossessed,’ anchors those nations in YHWH’s prior act of removing them “from before” Israel, making Israel’s imitation a reversal of God’s saving action.
Root and etymology
ה־ו־ה
“to be, exist”
In context — 2 Kings 17:8
