Exegesis
The verse advances through a chain of wayyiqtol verbs that narrate escalating response: vayar {וַיַּ֨רְא | wayyāʾar} ‘and he saw’ introduces perception, followed by vayelekh {וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ | wayyēleḵ} ‘and he went’ and vayishlach {וַיִּשְׁלַ֖ח | wayyišlāḥ} ‘and he sent’ expressing diplomatic action.
In context — Hosea 5:13
Ephraim noticed his sickness, and Judah his wound; so Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to King Jareb. Yet he could not heal you, and he could not cure your wound.
