Exegesis
The relative clause introduced by ʾašer-hûʾ {אֲשֶׁר־הוּא | ʾăšer-hûʾ} ‘where he’ governs the participle kho-neh {חֹנֶה | ḥō-neh} ‘is encamping’, reinforced by the locative adverb šām {שָׁם | šām} ‘there’.
In context — Exodus 18:5
And Jethro , the father-in-law of Moses, came with his sons and his wife to Moses, to the wilderness where he was encamping at the mountain of God .
