Exegesis
The verse presents a chiastic structure—the flight (nadēdû {נָדְדוּ | nāḏēḏû} ‘fled’) – capture (ʾussārû {אֻסָּרוּ | ʾussārû} ‘were bound’) – capture – flight (bārāḥû {בָּרָחוּ | bārāḥû} ‘fled’)—with the adverbs yaḥad {יַחַד | yaḥad} and yaḥdāw {יַחְדָּו | yaḥdāw} emphasizing communal action.
