Exegesis

The Hiphil imperative hō·ṣēʾ min-ham·mā·qôm {הוֹצֵא מִן־הַמָּקוֹם | hō·ṣēʾ min-ham·mā·qôm} issues a causative command to remove them from the threatened place. English renderings maintain the force of the Hebrew imperative, clarify the elliptical question, and preserve the inclusivity of the kinship list.
