Exegesis
The final clause veet-eilei haaretz lakach {וְאֶת־אֵילֵ֥י הָאָ֖רֶץ לָקָֽח | wəʾet-ʾēlê hā-ʾāreṣ lāqaḥ} ‘and he took the mighty ones of the land’ combines the direct-object marker et with the noun eielei ‘mighty ones,’ emphasizing the removal of key leaders. The repetition of the verb ‘took’ frames the decisive extraction of power, highlighting the strategic political maneuver conveyed in the narrative.
In context — Ezekiel 17:13
And he took from the royal seed and made a covenant with him; he brought him under an oath and also took the mighty ones of the land.
