Exegesis
A sequence of vav-conjunction clauses—wə-yit-nū-lā-nū min ha-zeroim {וְיִתְּנוּ־לָ֜נוּ מִן־הַזֵּרֹעִ֛ים | wə-yit-nū-lā-nū min haz-zērōʿîm} ‘and let them give us vegetables’, ve-nōḵəlāh {וְנֹאכְלָ֖ה | wə-nōḵəlāh} ‘and we may eat’, ū-mayim {וּמַ֥יִם | ū-mayim} ‘and water’, and wə-ništēh {וְנִשְׁתֶּֽה | wə-ništēh} ‘and we may drink’—articulates a deferential petition. The shift from imperative to cohortative mood underscores respectful request.
