Exegesis
The conjunction ū links to ū-miš-qōl ʿă-vō-nām {וּמִכְשׁוֹל עֲוֺנָם | û-miš-qōl ʿă-vō-nām} “and a stumblingblock of their iniquity,” which is given (nāt-nū {נָתְנוּ | nāt-nū}) “they have given” before their faces (nō-ḥaḥ pə-nê-hem {נֹכַח פְּנֵיהֶם | nō-ḥaḥ pə-nê-hem}), underscoring visible transgression.
In context — Ezekiel 14:3
Son of man, these men have placed their idols upon their heart, and the stumblingblock of their iniquity they have set before their faces. Should I indeed be inquired of at all by them?
