Exegesis
The infinitive construct laasot {לַעֲשׂוֹת | la-‘ă-śōt} ‘to do’ and the particle et {אֵ֥ת | ’êṯ} link to the construct kolhammaasim {כָּל־הַמַּעֲשִׂים | kol-ham-mā-‘ă-šîm} ‘all the works’, modified by the demonstrative haelleh {הָאֵלֶּה | hā-’ēl-leh} ‘these’.
In context — Numbers 16:28
And Moses said, “By this you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works , for it was not from my own heart.”
