Exegesis
forms a rhetorical question that introduces the infinitive clause laasot {לַעֲשֹׂת | la-ʿă-śôṯ} ‘to do’ plus kol haraah hagedolah hazot {כָּל־הָרָעָה הַגְּדוֹלָה הַזֹּאת | kol hā-rā-ʿāh ha-gedō-lāh ha-zōt} ‘all this great evil’ as the proposed action.
In context — Nehemiah 13:27
Is it to be heard of you that you are doing all this great evil by acting unfaithfully against our God by bringing in foreign women ?
