Exegesis
The Hebrew narrative employs a sequence of waw-consecutive verbs to trace progress: vayihyu-lah {וַיִּֽהְיוּ־לָ֞הּ | wa-yih-yû-lāh} introduces the idea of possession transforming into authority, linking mattot {מַטּוֹת | maṭ-ṭôt} “rods” with oz {עֹז | ʿōz} “strength” and el-shivtei {אֶל־שִׁבְטֵי | ʾel-šiv-tê} governing purpose for moshelim {מֹשְׁלִים | mō-šə-lîm} “rulers.”
