Exegesis
Vav-consecutive Qal imperfects—vetaʾar {וְתָאַ֣ר | wə-ṯā-ʾar} ‘and it turned’, veyatsa {וְיָצָא֙ | wə-yā-ṣāʾ} ‘and it went out’, and veyarad {וְיָרַ֕ד | wə-ya-raḏ} ‘and it went down’—create sequential motion.
In context — Joshua 18:17
And it turned from the north and went out to the spring of Shemesh , proceeded to Geliloth, which faces the ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan , the son of Reuben.
