Exegesis
The narrative opens with a chain of vav-consecutive verbs—vayakam {וַיָּ֛קָם | va-ya-qām} ‘and he arose’, vayelekh {וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ | va-ye-lēḵ} ‘and he went’, and vayavo {וַיָּבֹא֙ | va-ya-vō} ‘and he came’—propelling Manoah forward.
In context — Judges 13:11
And Manoah got up and went after his wife, and he came to the man and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to the woman?” And he said, “I am.”
