Exegesis

The clause begins with vehara {וְחָרָה | wə-ḥārāh} ‘and will burn’, using the vav-consecutive to introduce divine wrath with appî {אַפִּי | ʾap-pî} ‘my anger’ as subject.

In context — Exodus 22:24

And my anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your sons orphans.
