Exegesis
The prepositional phrase be-ad ha-chalon {בְּעַ֣ד הַחַלּ֑וֹן | bə·ʿaḏ ha·ḥāl·lōn} describes the means of escape. The three qal imperfect verbs for movement emphasize ongoing narrative flow, while the final nifal imperfect highlights successful evasion. English maintains the sequence with coordinated verbs to mirror the Hebrew urgency.
