Exegesis
The relative clause asher loyadata {אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָדָעְתָּ | ʾă-šer lō-yā-ḏaʿ-tā} modifies baaretz {בָּאָרֶץ | bā-ʾā-reṣ}, emphasizing exile’s unfamiliarity.
In context — Jeremiah 17:4
And you shall let go of your inheritance which I gave you, and I will make you serve your enemies in a land you did not know because you kindled a fire in my anger , and it shall burn forever.
