Exegesis
The preposition ad {עַד | ’ad} ‘until’ introduces the infinitive construct shefokh {שְׁפָךְ | še-pāḵ} ‘pour out’ used as a result clause with the noun dam {דָּ֖ם | dām} ‘blood’, culminating in vivid depiction of their bloodshed. Preserving the Hebrew vav+verb sequence and the act-result clause in English maintains the narrative intensity and causal progression.
