Exegesis
The following veyenahagehu {וַיְנַהֲגֵהוּ | wayyənahăgēhû} ‘and he drove them’ combined with the adverbial bikhvedut {בִּכְבֵדֻת | bîḵḇēḏut} ‘with heaviness’ underscores the crippling effect on their mobility.
In context — Exodus 14:25
And He removed the wheels of their chariots, so that they drove with difficulty. And Egypt said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the LORD is fighting for them against Egypt.”
