Exegesis
The verse links two vav-consecutive clauses with vayashav {וַיָּשָׁב | way-yā-šāḇ} ‘and he returned’ and vayashivu {וַיָּשִׁיבוּ | way-yā-šî-ḇū} ‘and they brought back,’ creating a narrative flow from movement to communication.
In context — Joshua 22:32
Then Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest and the leaders returned from the descendants of Reuben and Gad in the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the Israelites, and they carried back a report .
