Exegesis
The response is immediate: vayitzaku {וַיִּצְעֲק֖וּ | wayyiṣʿă-qû} ‘and they cried out’ takes the lamed-object laYHWH {לַיהוָ֑ה | la-yhwh} ‘to the LORD’, highlighting a direct appeal for divine intervention. The closing phrase is participial, portraying concurrent action: “and the priests … with the trumpets.”
