Exegesis
A second wayyāḇer {וַיַּבְעֵר | wayyāḇer} ‘and he set on fire’ then describes the spread from mī-gāddīš {מִגָּדִישׁ | mī-gāddīš} ‘from the shocks’ through wə-ʿad-qāmāh {וְעַד־קָמָה | wə-ʿad-qāmāh} ‘and up to the standing grain’ and wə-ʿad-kerem {וְעַד־כֶּרֶם | wə-ʿad-kerem} ‘and up to the vineyard’. This cumulative structure reflects the unstoppable advance of the flames across distinct agricultural zones.
