Exegesis
The piel va-yyə-ʿan-nē-hā {וַיְעַנֶּ֔הָ | va-yyə-ʿan-nē-hā} ‘and he afflicted her’ intensifies the violence, culminating in the euphemism va-yyiš-kāv ʾō-tāh {וַיִּשְׁכַּ֖ב אֹתָהּ | va-yyiš-kāv ʾō-tāh} ‘and he lay with her’, denoting non-consensual intercourse. This progression from refusal to forceful act preserves the Hebrew word order to maintain narrative tension and thematic impact.
Root and etymology
