Exegesis
The prepositional phrase mehattophet {מֵֽהַתֹּפֶת | mē-ha-ṭō-pheṯ} specifies origin, modified by the relative clause asher shelacho YHWH sham lehinave {אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחוֹ יְהוָה שָׁם לְהִנָּבֵא | ʾă-šer šə-lā-ḥō Yə-hō-wāh šām lə-hin-nā-ḇēʾ}, which provides the purpose: a divine commissioning to prophesy.
In context — Jeremiah 19:14
And Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy ; and he stood in the court of the house of the LORD and said to all the people.
