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.
