Exegesis
The verse employs a rapid sequence of vav-consecutive verbs, beginning with vatemeher {וַתְּמַהֵר֙ | vâṯməhêr} ‘and she hurried’, followed by vataratz {וַתָּרָץ | vâṯṭāraṣ} ‘and she ran’, vatagged {וַתַּגֵּד | vâṯtaggēḏ} ‘and she informed’, and vatomer {וַתֹּאמֶר | vâṯʾōmer} ‘and she said’, which conveys immediacy.
In context — Judges 13:10
And the woman hurried and ran and told her husband, and she said to him, “Behold, the man who appeared to me has come today!”
