Exegesis
The verse begins with the perfect of perception shame'u {שָֽׁמְע֥וּ | šāmə-ʿû} ‘they have heard’ followed by the imperfect yirgazun {יִרְגָּז֑וּן | yirgāzûn} ‘they tremble’, establishing a hearing-to-trembling sequence.
In context — Exodus 15:14
The nations have heard , and they tremble; anguish has seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
