Exegesis
The prepositional phrase mibbēt ʾāvî {מִבֵּ֣ית אָבִי֒ | mi-bēt ʾā-vî} ‘from my father’s house’ emphasizes separation from ancestral roots.
In context — Genesis 20:13
And it happened that when God caused me to wander from my father’s house , I said to her, “This is your kindness which you shall do for me: in every place we reach, say of me, ‘He is my brother.’”
