Exegesis
The subsequent vav-consecutive Hiphil verb vaashlikhah {וָאַשְׁלִיכָה | wāʾašlîḵāh} ‘and I threw out’ conveys decisive removal, immediately followed by the direct object marker et {אֵת | ʾēt}, highlighting the forceful expulsion of the object phrase kol kelei beit Toviyah ‘all vessels of the house of Tobiah.’
In context — Nehemiah 13:8
I was very displeased, and I threw out all the household goods of Tobiah outside the chamber.
