Exegesis
The Qal perfect natat {נָתַתְּ | nā-ṯat} ‘you gave’ is complemented by the prepositional phrase lifnehem {לִפְנֵיהֶם | li-p̄nê-hem} ‘before them,’ situating the offerings in the presence of the idols. This sequence of wayyiqtol forms creates a narrative progression that heightens the sense of misdirected devotion and the tragic profanation of sacred gifts.
Root and etymology
