Exegesis
The closing vaasapperah {וַאֲסַפֵּֽרָה׃ | waʾăsapperāh} ‘and I will recount’ is a volitional cohortative advanced by vav, conveying resolve to narrate what has been perceived. In English, the initial commitment and the imperative are separated with a semicolon to preserve the tight Hebrew sequencing while keeping the exhortation force clear.
