Exegesis
The Hifil infinitive lavio {לָבִיא | lā-ḇîʾ} expresses purpose “to bring,” and the locative bavelah {בָּבֶלָה | bā-ḇe-lā(h)} indicates the destination “to Babylon.” In translation the Hebrew VSO order is rendered in English as SVO to maintain clarity while preserving the sequence of actions.
