Exegesis

The prepositional phrase le’enei ha-goyim {לְעֵינֵי הַגּוֹיִם | lə-ʿê-nê ha-ggo-yim} ‘before the eyes of the nations’ establishes surrounding peoples as witnesses, which is reinforced by the relative clause asher hotzeitim {אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתִים | ʾa-šer ho-tse-ʾî-tîm} ‘whom I brought out’ and the final phrase le’eneihem {לְעֵינֵיהֶם | lə-ʿê-nê-hem} ‘before their eyes’ for emphasis on public vindication.

In context — Ezekiel 20:14

But I acted for the sake of My name so that it would not be profaned before the eyes of the nations to whom I brought them out .
