Exegesis
Finally, vayyāshev lô minḥâ {וַיָּשֶׁב לוֹ מִנְחָה | way-yā-šeḇ lô min-ḥâ} ‘and he brought him tribute’ combines vav-consecutive imperfect with a prepositional object to denote customary payment. The sequence of approach, imposition, and tribute is preserved in English through parallel clause structure and verb choices that maintain the causal and resultative relationships.
