Exegesis

The second ve’achar ha’esh {וְאַחַ֣ר הָאֵ֔שׁ | wə-ʾa-ḵar hā-ʾēš} restores anticipation, leading to the noun–adjective sequence kol demamah dakkah {ק֖וֹל דְּמָמָ֥ה דַקָּֽה | qōl də-mā-māh daq-qāh}, where the postpositive adjective intensifies the intimate quality of silence. English preserves the temporal markers, reflects the verbless structure for emphasis, and mirrors Hebrew word order to maintain theological nuance of divine self-manifestation through subtle sound.
