Exegesis
The vav-consecutive clause ve-cheilo yishtof {וְחֵילוֹ יִשְׁטֹף | wə-ḥê-lō yiš-ṭōf} ‘and his army will be swept away’ sequences the disaster, and the final vav + perfect in ve-naflu {וְנָפְלוּ | wə-nā-p̄ə-lū} ‘and they fell’ introduces chalalim rabbim {חֲלָלִים רַבִּים | ḥă-lā-lîm rab-bîm} ‘slain many’, creating climactic emphasis on mass casualties.
