Exegesis
Finally, u-fnehem la-bayit {וּפְנֵיהֶם לַבָּיִת | ū-pən-ê-hem lă-bā-yît} ‘and their faces toward the house’ specifies orientation. The Hebrew participial style forms a paratactic sequence, creating vivid, uninterrupted description; English preserves this with a compound sentence structure.
