Exegesis
The Hiphil imperative harcheq {הַרְחֵ֣ק | har-ḥēq} ‘keep far’ governs the directional phrase me‘aleyha {מֵעָלֶ֣יהָ | me-‘ā-lê-hā} ‘from over her,’ with darkekha {דַרְכֶּ֑ךָ | dar-kə-ḵā} ‘your way’ as its object.
In context — Proverbs 5:8
Put your way far from her, and do not approach the doorway of her house .
