Exegesis
Finally, the locative ba’aretz hazot {בָּאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת | bā·’ā·reṣ ha·zō·’ṯ} ‘in this land’ frames the setting. The contrast between perfect and imperfect forms highlights failed dispossession versus continued occupation, while the infinitive constructs and vav consecutive articulate temporal sequence and cause-effect in Hebrew narrative.

ʾ-r-ṣaleph–resh–tsade
