Exegesis
The vav-consecutive in vatushlekhi {וַתֻּשְׁלְכִ֞י | wa-tuš-le-ḵi} “and you were thrown,” a Qal passive imperfect, signals a narrative pivot to helpless expulsion.
In context — Ezekiel 16:5
No eye pitied you to do for you one of these things in compassion; but you were thrown into the open field, because you were loathed on the day you were born.
