Exegesis
A second vav-consecutive clause in vayisa’u {וַיִּשְּׂאוּ | wayyisə’ū} ‘and they lifted’ introduces the Levites {הַלְוִיִּים | halləwîyîm} as subject, with the ark {הָאָרוֹן | hā’āron} marked by the direct-object particle et {אֶת | ’ĕṯ}. This parallelism of two vav-consecutive clauses underscores both the assembly of leadership and the ceremonial transport of the sacred chest. English renders these actions with “came” and “lifted” to preserve sequence and highlight ritual procession.
