Exegesis
The narrative flow resumes with the vav-consecutive perfect vayamat {וַיָּמָת | wăyyāmaṯ}, directly linked to ʾîšî {אִישִׁי | ʾîšî}, establishing a causal relationship: her widowhood results from her husband’s death. English renders these with standard subject-verb order, preserving the Hebrew “and” to maintain sequence.
