Exegesis
The second wayyiqtol retains the implied subject and introduces its indirect object alehem {אֲלֵהֶֽם | ʾă-lê-hem} ‘to them’. Hebrew links consecutive actions under one subject; English renders them as a single SVO sentence to preserve narrative flow.
In context — Exodus 19:25
Then Moses descended to the people and addressed them.
