Exegesis
The Hiphil imperative haser {הָסֵ֖ר | hā-sēr} conveys active removal, governing the construct phrase raglekha {רַגְלְךָ֣ | ra-ge-lə-ḵā} within the prepositional clause mera {מֵרָֽע | mē-rāʿ}. The parallel imperatives and spatial imagery accentuate moral vigilance, rendered in English through coordinated commands.
