Exegesis
The temporal marker baboker {בַּבֹּקֶר | ba-bō-qer} ‘in the morning’ signals the festival’s conclusion, leading into ufanita {וּפָנִיתָ | ū-pā-nî-ṯā} ‘and you shall turn’ and vehalakhta {וְהָלַכְתָּ | wə-hā-la-ḵāṯā} ‘and you shall go’ to leohalecha {לְאֹהָלֶיךָ | lə-ʾō-hā-le-kā} ‘to your tents’. This structure preserves Hebrew’s ordered ritual sequence through English vav-consecutive markers.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:7
And you shall cook and eat it at the place which the LORD your God will choose; then in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents.
