Exegesis
The relative marker asher {אֲשֶׁר־ | ʾă-šer} ‘which’ links this to the participle menasseim {מְנַשְּׂאִים | mə-nas-śə-ʾîm} ‘lifting up’, a Piel form that intensifies desire directed toward the infinitive lashuv {לָשׁוּב | lā-šûḇ} ‘to return’, indicating purpose.
In context — Jeremiah 22:27
But concerning the land to which they are lifting up their soul to return, they shall not return.
