Exegesis

The construct chain et-am {אֶת־עַ֣ם | ʾeṯ-ʿam} ‘(direct object) people of’ + haaretz {הָאָ֔רֶץ | hāʾāreṣ} ‘the land’ marks the source population, and the closing infinitive latet2 {לָתֵ֖ת | lāṯēṯ} ‘to give’ plus leparoh2 {לְפַרְעֹ֥ה | lə-parʿōh} and nekho {נְכֹֽה׃ | nəkōh} frames the entire extraction as a funnel back to the Egyptian king.

In context2 Kings 23:35
