Exegesis
The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} introduces the defining clause where nazoru {נָזֹ֙רוּ֙ | nā-zō-rū} ‘have become estranged’ (Niphal perfect) indicates passive separation.
In context — Ezekiel 14:5
So that I may seize the house of Israel in their heart, for they have all become estranged from Me by their idols .
