Exegesis

The imperative shalach {שַׁלַּח | šal-laḥ} ‘send’ together with me-al-pnai {מֵעַל־פָּנַי | mē-ʿal-pā-nai} ‘from my face’ conveys both physical removal and relational separation.

In contextJeremiah 15:1

And the LORD said to me, “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people; send them away from My face, and let them go out.”
