Exegesis
The paired infinitive constructs limrod {לִמְרֹד | lîm-rôḏ} “to rebel” and we-lashuv {וְלָשׁוּב | wə-lā-šûḇ} “and to turn back” are framed by the prepositions ba-YHWH {בַּיהוָה | bā-Yə-hō-wāh} “against the LORD” and me-acharei YHWH {מֵאַחֲרֵי יְהוָה | mē-ʾă-ḥă-rê Yə-hō-wāh} “from following the LORD,” constructing a covenantal parallelism.
