Exegesis
The complex form haketsakatah {הַכְּצַעֲקָתָּהּ | hak-kə-ṣa-ʿă-qā-tāh} combines interrogative ha with ke ‘according to’ and the construct tsaaqatah ‘her outcry,’ yielding a comparative clause, “whether it is according to the outcry.”
In context — Genesis 18:21
I will go down now and see whether they have acted completely according to the outcry that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.
