Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bā-rā‘āh {בָרָעָה | bā-rā‘āh} ‘concerning the evil’ functions as the object of understanding, with ’ăšer {אֲשֶׁר | ’ăšer} ‘that’ launching the relative clause specifying ’ĕl-yāšîḇ’s {אֶלְיָשִׁיב֙ | ’ĕl-yāšîḇ} action on behalf of Tôbîyāh {לְט֣וֹבִיָּ֔ה | lə-ṭōḇîyāh}.
In context — Nehemiah 13:7
And I came to Jerusalem, and I learned of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah to make for him a chamber in the courts of the house of God .
