Exegesis
The Hiphil wayyshibhu {וַיְשִׁיבֻהוּ | wayyišib-hū} ‘and they answered him’ presents the response of ha-am {הָעָם | hā-ʿām}, and the phrase ka-davar ha-rishon {כַּדָּבָר הָרִאשׁוֹן | ka-ḏāḇār hā-rîšôn} ‘as the first’ underscores the parallelism of repetition. The English translation preserves the Hebrew clause order to highlight persistent questioning and uniform reply.
