Exegesis
The coordination veuzza veachyo {וְעֻזָּ֣א וְאַחְי֔וֹ | wəʿuzzāʾ wəʾaḥyô} introduces the human agents, and the participial predicate nohagim baagalah {נֹהֲגִ֖ים בָּעֲגָלָֽה | nōhăgîm bāʿăgālā} ‘guiding in the cart’ depicts ongoing control of the cart during the movement. English reorders elements into a smoother main clause while preserving the Hebrew emphasis on the sacred cargo, the conveyance, and the continuous guidance.
