Exegesis
The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} ‘introducing clause’ recurs to link maternal origin and the foreign birthplace clause preceding lo-yulladtem {לֹא־יֻלַּדְתֶּם | lō-yul-lad-tem} ‘passive birth negation’.
In context — Jeremiah 22:26
And I will hurl you and your mother who bore you upon another land, where you were not born, and there you will die.
