| 12. Linguistic Exegesis The verse begins with the causal conjunction ki {כִּֽי | kî} introducing the rationale for divine judgment. The construct chain toʿeḇaṯ Yahweh {תּוֹעֲבַ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה | tô-ʿă-ḇāṯ Yə-hō-wāh} ‘abomination of the LORD’ assigns moral abhorrence to the divine. The participle ʿōśēh ēlleh {עֹ֣שֵׂה אֵ֑לֶּה | ʿō-śēh ēl-leh} functions as a relative clause ‘who do these things.’ The conjunction u biglal {וּבִגְלַל֙ | û bĭğ-lāl} ‘and because of’ marks a second causal clause. The hiphil participle mô-rîsh {מוֹרִ֥ישׁ | mō-rîš} indicates decisive divine action ‘will drive out.’ The prepositional phrase mî-pā-nê-kha {מִּפָּנֶֽיךָ | mî-pā-nê-kha} preserves the spatial relation ‘from before you,’ linking divine wrath to the nations’ removal. |
