The Hifil perfect he’elitunu {הֶעֱלִיתֻנוּ | hē-ʿə·lī·tū·nū} ‘did you bring us up’ pairs with the infinitive lehavi {לְהָבִיא | lə·hā·ḇī·ʾ} ‘to bring’ to express purpose.
In context — Numbers 20:5
And why did you bring us up from Egypt to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of grain, figs, vines, or pomegranates , nor is there water to drink.
