Exegesis
The shift to exile is marked by vayiviem {וַיְבִיאֵ֥ם | way-yə-ḇî-ʾêm} ‘and he brought them’, with erets shinar {אֶרֶץ־שִׁנְעָ֖ר | ʾe-reṣ ši-nʿar} as the metonym for Babylon.
In context — Daniel 1:2
And the Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah, into his power, along with some of the vessels from the house of God ; and he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and put the vessels into the treasury of his god.
