Exegesis

The relative clause with asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} ‘who’ and ba {בָּא | bāʾ} ‘has come’ modifies yomam {יוֹמָם | yō-mām} ‘his day’, followed by b’et {בְּעֵת | bə-ʿēt} ‘at the time of’ combined with avon {עֲוֹן | ʿā-vōn} ‘iniquity’ and keitz {קֵץ | kēts} ‘end’, marking the eschatological culmination of guilt. The layering of infinitives, prepositions, and construct relations underscores a progression from deception to divine judgment.
