Exegesis
The relative clause ʾasher nā-taṯ-tî lā-hem wə-la-ʾă-ḇō-ṯê-hem {אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥תִּי לָהֶ֖ם וְלַאֲבוֹתֵיהֶֽם | ʾă-šer nā-taṯ-tî lā-hem wə-la-ʾă-ḇō-ṯê-hem} links the punitive action to the land previously given, highlighting the breach of the covenant gift. The translation preserves the cumulative structure and temporal sequence to reflect the original Hebrew emphasis.
