Exegesis
Finally, the Hiphil infinitive le-ho-tsi-anu {לְהוֹצִיאָנוּ | lə-hō-ṣî-ʾā-nû} ‘to bring us out’ with mimmitsrayim {מִמִּצְרָיִם | mimmitsrāyim} ‘from Egypt’ highlights causation. This VSO structure and nested infinitives convey Israel’s fear and accusation while the English SVO rendering preserves emotional force and rhetorical pacing.
In context — Exodus 14:11
And they said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness ? What is this that you have done to us in bringing us out of Egypt ?”
