Exegesis
A second vav-consecutive imperfect, vayinnafesh {וַיִּנָּפֵשׁ | way-yin-nā-p̄ēš}, functions in the Nifal reflexive to indicate self-restoration, followed by the locative adverb sham {שָׁם | šām}, anchoring the place of recovery. These two vav-consecutives create a compact progression from arrival to renewal.
Root and etymology
n-p-shnun–pe–shin
