Exegesis
Batzetkhem {בְּצֵאתְכֶם | beṣēʼēṯkhēm} ‘when you came out’ with mimmitsrayim {מִמִּצְרַיִם | mimmitsrāyim} ‘from Egypt’ frames the temporal‐locative setting.
In context — Deuteronomy 23:4
On account of the matter that they did not come to meet you with bread and with water on the journey when you came out from Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam , son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharayim, to curse you.
