Exegesis
The direct object hāraʿ {הָרַע | hāraʿ} “the evil” is framed by the prepositional phrase be’einei YHWH {בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה | bə·‘ē·nê Yəhōwāh} “in the eyes of the LORD,” indicating divine evaluation.
The relative clause asher horish YHWH {אֲשֶׁר הוֹרִישׁ יְהוָה | ’ă·šer hô·rîš Yəhōwāh} “which the LORD drove out” attributes Israel’s inheritance to divine agency.
