Exegesis
The subsequent vav-consecutive vayyaẖ {וַיַּ֗ךְ | văy-yāẖ} ‘and he struck’ governs two objects: ’et-’ĕdôm ha-ssōwēḇ ’ēlāyw {אֶת־אֱדוֹם הַסּוֹבֵ֣ב אֵלָיו} ‘Edom, the one surrounding him’, and wə-’ēt ṣārēy hārāḵēḇ {וְאֵ֖ת שָׂרֵי הָרָֽכֶב} ‘and the officers of the chariotry’. This chain of vav-consecutives creates a rapid, dynamic historical narrative.
