Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase hakhuts min halishkah {הַחוּץ מִן־הַלִּשְׁכָּה | haḥûṣ min-hā-liškāh} ‘outside from the chamber’ places syntactic emphasis on the complete removal from the cultic space. This word order frames Nehemiah’s reaction (vayera + li + meod) as cause, leading to his purifying action (vaashlikhah + et + object phrase), resulting in the expulsion (hakhuts + min + location phrase).
In context — Nehemiah 13:8
I was very displeased, and I threw out all the household goods of Tobiah outside the chamber.
