Exegesis

The Hiphil infinitive construct lə-hak-rît {לְהַכְרִ֥ית | lə-hak-rît} ‘to cut off’ functions as a purpose clause, and mimmennāh {מִמֶּ֖נָּה | mim-men-nāh} ‘from it’ limits the effect.

In contextEzekiel 14:19

Or if I send a pestilence to that land and pour out my wrath upon it with blood to cut off from it man and beast.
