Exegesis
The temporal phrase baerev {בָעֶרֶב | bā-ʿe-rev} ‘in the evening’ precedes the successive wayyiqtol verb vataal {וַתַּעַל | wat-taʿal} ‘and went up’, where hashlav {הַשְּׂלָו | haš-šə-lāw} ‘the quail’ serves as the feminine singular subject.
In context — Exodus 16:13
And it happened in the evening that the quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning a layer of dew lay around the camp.
