Exegesis
Finally, the causative verbs wə-higlām and wə-hikkām {וְהִגְלָם ... וְהִכָּם | wə-higlām ... wə-hikkām}, joined by the vav-consecutive, present sequential acts of exile and slaughter. The English order is adjusted for readability while retaining the Hebrew’s chain of purpose, causation, and command sequences.
In context — Jeremiah 20:4
