Exegesis
The repeated vav-conjunctions create narrative flow, while the final dismissal clause uses the perfect shillakh {שִׁלַּח | šillāḥ} ‘he sent’, ish {אִישׁ | ʼîš} ‘each man’, and the infinitive-directional le-ohalav {לְאֹהָלָיו | lə-ʼōhālāw} ‘to his tents’, rendered in English as discrete past actions to preserve emphasis on assignment and dismissal.
Root and etymology
’-h-laleph–heh–lamed
