The verbs qataf {קָטָ֑ף | qā-ṭāp̄} ‘he plucked’ and vayeviehu {וַיְבִיאֵ֙הוּ֙ | wa-yə-ḇî-ʾê-hū} ‘and he brought it’ form a wayyiqtol sequence that propels the narrative toward its destination.

He plucked the very top of its young shoots and brought it to the land of Canaan; in a city of merchants he set it.
