Exegesis
Spatial context is marked by begei {בְּגֵיא | bəgeĭ} ‘in the valley’, followed by the proper names Tsephathah {צְפַתָה | tsephaṯāh} and leMāreshah {לְמָרֵשָׁה | ləmärešāh}, which locate the action precisely. The vav-consecutive sequence underscores swift, coordinated action within a defined geography.
