Exegesis
The prepositional phrase al challam et-arzi {עַל חַלְּלָם אֶת־אַרְצִי | ʿal ḥal-lə-lām ʾet-ʾar-ṣî} ‘because of their profaning my land’ introduces causality with challam in construct relation to arzi.
In context — Jeremiah 16:18
But first, I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin because of their profaning my land. With the carcasses of their detestable things and their abominations, they have filled my inheritance.
