Exegesis
The noun ish {אִ֥ישׁ | ’îš} highlights individual participants, while leohalav {לְאֹהָלָֽיו | lə·’ō·hă·lāv} specifies their destination at personal tents within the encampment. Hebrew’s fronted verbs heighten the sequence of defeat leading directly to dispersal, rendered in English subject-verb-object order for clarity.
