Exegesis
The sequence continues with vattāsem {וַתָּ֤שֶׂם | wat-tā-sem} ‘and she put’ + yādāh {יָדָהּ֙ | yā-dāh} ‘her hand’ and the infinitive absolute hālōḵ {הָל֖וֹךְ | hā-lōḵ} ‘going’ used adverbially under the vav-consecutive vattēleḵ {וַתֵּ֥לֶךְ | wat-tē-leḵ} ‘and she went’ to convey ongoing movement, culminating in wəzāʿāqāh {וְזָעָֽקָה | wə-zā-ʿā-qāh} ‘and she cried out’. This syntax highlights the ritualized gestures and public lament typical of Israelite mourning customs.
