| 38. Linguistic Exegesis The verse opens with the vav-consecutive uvaroti {וּבָרוֹתִי | ū-vā-rō-ṯî} “and I will purge,” signaling divine judicial action. The participial subjects hamordim {הַמֹּרְדִים | ham-mōr-ḏîm} “the rebels” and vehaposheʿim {וְהַפֹּשְׁעִים | wə-hap-pō-šaʿ-îm} “the transgressors” are specified by the prepositional phrase bi {בִּי | bî} “against Me,” emphasizing personal opposition. The phrase meʾeretz megureihem {מֵאֶרֶץ מְגוּרֵיהֶם | mē-ʼe-reṣ mə-gu-rê-hêm} “out of the land of their sojournings” forms a locative construct chain, situating the action in the context of exile. The Hifil verb otziʾem {אוֹצִיאֵם | ō-ṣî-ʼêm} “I will bring them out” underscores divine causation. The compound veʾel-admat yisraʾel lo yavoʾu {וְאֶל־אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יָבֹאוּ | wə-ʼel-ʾă-dă-mat yiś-rā-ʼêl lō yā-vo-ʼû} sets up a contrastive clause where the group is removed but barred from reentry. The final vidatem ki ani Yahweh {וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה | wi-ḏa-ʼ-tem kî ʾa-nî Yĕ-hō-wāh} projects the resultant recognition of the LORD’s sovereign judgment. |
