Torah Temimah points to Torah Temimah citation.
English: Rabbi Yehoshua son of Rabbi Chananel said: One must write the heh below the “knee” of the lamed of “ha-laHashem tigmelu zot,” so that it is read as “Ha, laHashem tigmelu zot” — “Alas, is this how you repay Hashem?”
Custom (A masoretic and scribal diyuk that turns the large heh into an expression of lament.)
The enlarged heh is positioned so that the phrase can be heard as a cry of astonishment and grief: “Ha!” — is this the recompense you give to Hashem? The form of the letter itself participates in the rebuke.
