Exegesis
The noun miš-teh {מִשְׁתֵּה | miš-teh} “feast” combined with u-maṣṣōṯ {וּמַצּ֥וֹת | u-maṣṣōṯ} “and unleavened breads,” the verb ʾāp̄āh {אָפָה | ʾāp̄āh} “he baked,” and vayyōʾḵēlū {וַיֹּאכֵֽלוּ | wayyōʾḵēלû} “and they ate” completes the narrative of provision. The English translation preserves the sequential momentum by smoothing the coordination of actions.
