The Question
How does הַמּוֹצִיאֲךָ֛ function in Deuteronomy 8:14?
Short Answer
הַמּוֹצִיאֲךָ֛ is an Article | Verb - Hifil - Participle - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular in Deuteronomy 8:14. The form clarifies that Deuteronomy 8:14 recalls the Lord as the one who brought Israel out, making forgetfulness a failure to remember redemption.
What the Form Is Doing
הַמּוֹצִיאֲךָ֛ appears in Deuteronomy 8:14 as an Article | Verb - Hifil - Participle - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular. It identifies the Lord by His exodus action toward Israel, grounding the warning against pride in remembered redemption.
The article and participle form a descriptive expression, and the attached 2ms suffix identifies Israel as the addressed object. In Deuteronomy 8:14, the form points back to the Lord's exodus action.
Why It Matters for Interpretation

Translation Effect
