Exegesis
The vav-consecutive ve-hinnam {וְהִנָּם | wə-hin-nām} ‘and behold, they’ resumes narrative action, and the appositional clause be-chatzetzon Tamar hi ein Gedi {בְּחַצְצ֣וֹן תָּמָר הִיא עֵין גֶּדִי | bə-ḥat-tse-ṣôn ṭā-mār hī ‘ên ge-dî} ‘in Hazezon Tamar—that is, Ein Gedi’ identifies the exact location. The sequence of vav-consecutive verbs ensures a cohesive temporal flow, while the appositive detail heightens immediacy.
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:2
And they came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude has come against you from beyond the sea, from Aram, and behold, they have reached Hazezon Tamar —that is, En Gedi.”
