Exegesis
A rapid chain of wayyiqtol sequences follows: vayyārum {וַיָּ֥רֻם | way-yā-rum} ‘it bred’, yielding tola'im {תוֹלָעִים | tô-lā-ʿîm} ‘maggots’, then vayyib'aš {וַיִּבְאַשׁ | way-yib-ʾaš} ‘it became foul’, culminating in vayyikṣof {וַיִּקְצֹף | way-yiq-ṣōp} ‘he became angry’.
In context — Exodus 16:20
But they did not heed Moses , and some of the people reserved a portion until dawn; it then swarmed with maggots and turned putrid, so Moses was angry with them.
