Exegesis
The vav-consecutive imperfect vattirgaz {וַתִּרְגַּ֣ז | va-tir-gaz} ‘and it trembled’ portrays a cosmic reaction as haaretz {הָאָ֔רֶץ | hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘the land’ quakes.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:15
And panic came upon the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The outpost and the raiders trembled as well; the earth shook, and it became a panic from God .
