Exegesis
The main clause then presents the result with vayichar appo {וַיִּחַר אַפּוֹ | way-yi-ḥar ʾap-pô} ‘his anger burned’, a vivid idiom that delays the emotional climax until after the detailed allegation, intensifying narrative suspense.
In context — Genesis 39:19
And it happened when his master heard the words his wife spoke to him, saying, “According to these things your servant did to me,” his anger burned.
