Exegesis
The following relative clause el-ha’aretz asher {אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר | ’el-hā-’āreṣ ’ă-šer} ‘to the land which’ introduces nasati {נָשָׂאתִי | nā-śā’-tî} ‘I lifted up’ with the idiomatic object marker et-yadi {אֶת־יָדִי | ’et-yā-ḏî} ‘my hand’, expressing the oath gesture, followed by the infinitive latet {לָתֵת | lā-tet} ‘to give’ and its object otah {אוֹתָהּ | ’ō-tāh} ‘it’, concluding with laavoteikhem {לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶם | la-’ă-vō-tê-khem} ‘to your fathers’. The Hebrew construct chains and infinitives create compact temporal and relative clauses that English renders as subordinate clauses and prepositional phrases.
In context — Ezekiel 20:42
And you will know that I am the LORD when I bring you into the land of Israel, to the land that I lifted up My hand to give it to your fathers.
