Exegesis
The instrument bakhachim {בַֽחַחִים | baḥḥîm} ‘with hooks’ underscores brutality, and the prepositional chain el erets mitzrayim {אֶל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם | ʾel-ʾereṣ miṣrāyim} situates the outcome as exile in Egypt. English word order and punctuation have been adapted for clarity while preserving the Hebrew narrative flow and emphasis.
