Exegesis
The relative clause asher heʾelah {אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱלָה | ʾă-šer he-ʿĕ-lāh} identifies YHWH as the one who brought up Israel’s descendants.
The final relative clause asher natati la-avotam {אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לַאֲבוֹתָם | ʾă-šer nā-taṯ-tî la-ʾă-ḇō-ṯām} underscores the ancestral land grant as the covenant foundation for return.
In context — Jeremiah 16:15
But it will be said, “As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.” For I will bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers.
