Exegesis

The purpose clause introduced by lə-maʿăn {לְמַ֗עַן | lə-maʿăn} ‘in order to’ uses the infinitives ṭammeʾ {טַמֵּא | ṭammeʾ} ‘to defile’ and wə-lə-ḥallēl {וּלְחַלֵּ֖ל | wə-lə-ḥallēl} ‘to profane’, applying to ʾet-miqdāšî {אֶת־מִקְדָּשִׁי | ʾet-miqdāšî} ‘my sanctuary’ and ʾet-šēm qōdešî {אֶת־שֵׁם קָדְשִׁי | ʾet-šēm qōdešî} ‘my holy name’. This structure underscores divine resolve and the seriousness of profaning what is sacred.
