Exegesis
The instrumental phrase be-kochacha {בְּכֹחֲךָ | bə-ḵô-ḥa-ḵā} ‘by Your power’ underscores divine agency, while et regulates the object ha’am hazzeh {הָעָם הַזֶּה | hā-ʿām haz-zeh} ‘this people’ and mi-kerbo {מִקִּרְבּוֹ | mi-qər-bô} ‘from among them’ specifies the source. The sequence, where cause immediately follows expectation, mirrors Hebrew narrative style and emphasizes the immediacy of divine deliverance.
