Exegesis
The Qal perfect verb raashah {רָעֲשָׁה | rā-ʿă-šāh} ‘it quaked’ precedes its subject haaretz {הָאָרֶץ | hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘the earth’ (V–S order), emphasising cosmic disturbance.
In context — Jeremiah 49:21
From the sound of their fall , the earth quaked; a cry—at the Sea of Reeds , her voice was heard.
