Exegesis
The Hebrew narrative advances through a chain of vav-consecutive verbs—vayishlechu {וַֽיִּשְׁלְחוּ | wayyišlĕḥû} ‘and they sent’, vayikre'u-lo {וַיִּקְרְאוּ־ל֔וֹ | wayyiqrē’û-lō} ‘and they called to him’, vayavo {וַיָּבֹא | wayyāḇō’} ‘and he came’, and vayedabru {וַיְדַבְּרוּ | wayyĕḏabbĕrû} ‘and they spoke’—which creates rapid chronological movement. The attached object suffix lo specifies “to him” in the summons. The construct vechol-yisra'el highlights the corporate nature of the action. The infinitive le'emor introduces direct speech. English renders this by coordinating clauses with “and” to preserve the Hebrew flow and to mark dialogue clearly.
