Exegesis
The prepositional phrases beYaʿaqov {בְּיַעֲקֹב | bə-ya-ʿă-qōḇ} ‘in Jacob’ and beYisrael {בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל | bə-yis-rā-ʾēl} ‘in Israel’ function locatively, indicating that the division and scattering occur within the covenant people rather than outside them. The verse thus combines curse formula, causal explanation, and future prediction in tightly balanced poetic parallelism.
