Exegesis
The second wayyiqtol wayyaas {וַיַּ֕עַשׂ | way-ya-ʿaś} ‘and he did’ governs the relative clause kol asher amar {כֹּל אֲשֶׁר אָמָֽר׃ | kōl ʾă-šer ʾā-mar} ‘all that he had said’, reinforcing swift and complete obedience. This perfective sequence and relative construction highlight the immediacy and totality of Moses’s compliance.
Root and etymology
