Exegesis

A relative clause marked by ʼăšer-kar-tû {אֲשֶׁר־כָּרְת֥וּ | ʼă-šer-kar-tû} ‘which they cut off’, along with the source phrase mi-šām {מִשָּׁ֖ם | mi-šām} ‘from there’, attributes agency to benei Yiśrāʾēl {בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | bə-nê Yi-srā-ʼēl} ‘sons of Israel’. This structure highlights Hebrew’s use of the construct state to form place names and the relative clause to express causal motivation.

In context — Numbers 13:24

That place was called the Valley of Eshcol because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut off from there.
