Exegesis
The narrative then shifts to the vav-consecutive imperfect vayisnaehah {וַיִשְׂנָאֶֽהָ | va-yis-na-’ê-hā} ‘and he hates her’, serving as a result clause expressing the husband’s rejection. This sequence of vav-consecutive forms preserves legal register and emphasizes the father’s declaration before introducing the emotional outcome, reflecting the procedural context of marital disputes.
