Exegesis
The intensifying formula mehumah gedolah me’od {מְהוּמָה גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹד | me-hu-mah ge-do-lah me-ʼod} builds climax: noun + adjective + adverb. The Hebrew uses repeated vav-consecutives to heighten urgency, which is rendered in English by preserving sequence and splitting clauses for clarity while retaining cumulative force.
