Exegesis

The verse opens with the sequential verb vayyasor {וַיֶּאְסֹ֖ר | wayyēʾṣôr} ‘and he harnessed’, immediately followed by the direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾeṯ} introducing rikhvo {רִכְבּ֑וֹ | riḵbô} ‘his chariot’.

The coordinating weʾet {וְאֶת־ | wəʾeṯ} ‘and + direct object marker’ links to ammo {עַמּ֖וֹ | ʿammô} ‘his people’, each pronominal suffix underscoring possession.

The perfect verb laqach {לָקַ֥ח | lāqaḥ} ‘he took’ shifts to completed action, and the prepositional phrase immo {עִמּֽוֹ | ʿimmô} ‘with him’ highlights the collective movement. The tight coordination of two clauses under vav-consecutive produces rapid narrative momentum, emphasizing Pharaoh’s immediate mobilization.

In contextExodus 14:6

So Pharaoh harnessed his chariot , and he took his people with him.
