Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bammaggēp̄āh {בַּמַּגֵּפָ֖ה | bammaggēp̄āh} ‘by the plague’ marks instrumental agency, while lippənê Yəhōwāh {לִפְנֵי יְהוָה | lippənê Yəhōwāh} ‘before the LORD’ establishes a locative of presence that emphasizes divine oversight and judicial context. English SVO order preserves Hebrew participial subordination and causal emphasis.
