Exegesis
The verse is a brief summary statement that closes a unit: the fronted subject umilchamah {וּמִלְחָמָ֖ה | û-mil-ḥā-māh} ‘and war’ followed by lo {לֹא | lōʾ} ‘not’ and the perfect hayetah {הָיָתָה | hā-yə-tāh} ‘was’ forms a categorical denial (“war did not occur”), using the perfect to describe a completed stretch of time viewed as a whole.
Root and etymology
consonantsLamed–Chet–Mem
