Exegesis
The prepositional phrase lə-rûaḥ {לְרוּחַ | lə-rû-aḥ} marks direction toward the wind, while midbar {מִדְּבָּר | mid-bar} specifies the barren wilderness setting. The verb-first order, followed by the simile and prepositional phrase, emphasizes total dispersion and desolate context. English rendering adjusts word order for clarity while preserving the vivid simile and sequential action.
