Exegesis
A second vav-consecutive sequence frames the communal response: vayavo’u kol-nesiei haedah {וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל־נְשִׂיאֵי הָעֵדָה | way-yā-ḇō-ʾû kol-nə-śî-ʾê hā-ʿê-ḏāh} ‘and all the leaders of the congregation came’, followed by vayaggidu lemosheh {וַיַּגִּידוּ לְמֹשֶׁה | way-yag-gî-ḏû lə-mō-šeh} ‘and they reported to Moses’. The parallel vav-consecutive clauses create a progression from divine provision to community oversight, preserved in translation through temporal ordering and clause linkage.
In context — Exodus 16:22
On the sixth day they gathered twice the usual portion of bread—two omers for each person—and all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses.
