Exegesis
The verse uses a sequence of vav-consecutive verbs vayitga’ash {וַיִּתְגָּעַשׁ | wayyit·gā·ʿaš} ‘and it quaked’, vatir’ash {וַתִּרְעַשׁ | waṯ·ṯir·ʿāš} ‘and it shook’, yirgāzū {יִרְגָּזוּ | yir·gā·zū} ‘they trembled’, and vayitga’ashū {וַיִּתְגָּעֲשׁוּ | wayyit·gā·‘aš·û} ‘and they quaked’ to intensify seismic imagery centered on ha’āreṣ {הָאָרֶץ | hā·’ā·reṣ} ‘the earth’.
In context — 2 Samuel 22:8
The earth quaked and shook; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because He was angry.
