Exegesis
The demonstrative zōt {זֹ֛את | zōt} marks the woman as detested, and the prepositional phrase mēʿālāy haḥûṣāh {מֵעָלַי הַחוּצָה | mē-ʿā-lāy ha-ḥū-ṣāh} intensifies her removal.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:17
Then he called his young servant and said, “Please send this woman away from me outside and bolt the door after her.”
