Exegesis
It employs a vav-consecutive narrative with two Qal verbs: vataʿal {וַתַּעַל | wat-taʿal} ‘and she raised’ initiates the sequence, and vayilmad {וַיִּלְמַד | way-yil-mad} ‘and he learned’ introduces skill acquisition.
In context — Ezekiel 19:3
And she raised one of her cubs ; he grew into a young lion, learned to seize prey, and he devoured men .
