Exegesis
The definite noun phrase hagoyim haeleh {הַגּוֹיִם הָאֵלֶּה | ha-gô-wîm hā-ʾêl-leh} ‘these nations’ is modified by the relative clause asher yoresh {אֲשֶׁר יוֹרֵשׁ | ʾă-šer yô-rêš} ‘which you dispossess’, forming a subject qualifier.
In context — Deuteronomy 18:14
For these nations, which you will dispossess, listen to soothsayers and to diviners, but as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so.
