Exegesis

The connector ve’achar ken {וְאַחַר כֵּן | wä·’aḥăr kên} “and after this” introduces the marital phase with tavo {תָּבוֹא | ṯā·ḇō·’} “you shall enter” and uve’altah {וּבְעַלְתָּהּ | ū·bə·’ăl·tāh} “and you shall marry her,” culminating in vehayetah lekha le’ishah {וְהָיְתָה לְךָ לְאִשָּׁה | wä·hā·yə·tāh lə·ḵā lə·’îš·šāh} “and she shall be for you for a wife.” The chaining of vav consecutive forms underscores procedural progression.
