Exegesis

The phrase ʾĕ·lō·hîm ʾă·ḥê·rîm {אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים | ʾĕ·lō·hîm ʾă·ḥê·rîm} “other gods” governs the relative clause asher loyadata {אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָדַעְתָּ | ʾăšer lō·yā·ḏaṯ·tā}, and the parallel personal and ancestral subjects attah vaavotekha {אַתָּה וַאֲבֹתֶיךָ | ʾattāh wā·ʾă·wō·ṯe·ḵā} underline both individual and generational unfamiliarity with these deities.
