Exegesis

The subject ‘a man or a woman’ then appears in a second relative clause asher ya’aseh et-hara {אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה אֶת־הָרַע | ʾă·šer yaʿ·śēʾ ʾet-hā·raʿ} ‘who does the evil’, which is framed by be’einei Yehovah Eloheikha {בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה־אֱלֹהֶיךָ | bə·ʿê·nê yə·hō·wāh-ʾĕ·lō·hê·ḵāʾ} ‘in the eyes of the LORD your God’, shifting judgment to the divine perspective.
