Exegesis
The adverbial levaddehen {לְבַדְּהֶן | lə-ḇad-də-hēn} ‘by themselves’ closes the clause, conveying deliberate separation. In English the verb–subject order is shifted to subject–verb–object for readability, the construct relationship is rendered “from the flock,” and the adverbial nuance is captured with “stand apart” or “set aside” to reflect intentional exclusion implied by the Hebrew.
In context — Genesis 21:28
Abraham designated seven ewe lambs from the flock to stand apart.
