Exegesis

Three Piel imperfect verbs with vav consecutive—vaynakkeru {וַֽיְנַכְּר֞וּ | wa-ye-nak-kə-rû} ‘and they have estranged’, vayeqatteruvo {וַיְקַטְּרוּ־בוֹ֙ | wa-ye-qat-tə-rû-vo} ‘and they have burned incense’, and umal’u {וּמָֽלְא֛וּ | û-mā-l-’û} ‘and they have filled’—structure a cascading list of violations.
