Exegesis
This verse employs the vav-consecutive imperfect with veavar {וְעָבַר֩ | wə-ʿā-var} ‘and it crossed over’ and veyarad {וְיָרַד | wə-yā-rad} ‘and it descended’ to indicate sequential action.
In context — Joshua 18:13
And the boundary crossed over from there to Luz to the slope of Luz southward—it is Bethel—and descended to Ataroth Addar on the hill that lies south of Lower Beth-horon.
