Exegesis
The second vav-consecutive verb vayyaʾăbōʾu {וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ | wayyā-ḇō-ʾū} ‘and they came’ continues the narration, followed by ad {עַד | ʿad} ‘up to’, marking the boundary at beit Mikha {בֵּית מִיכָה | bêyt Mî-khā} ‘the house of Micah’. In English, the Hebrew verb-subject-object order is rendered as subject-verb-object to preserve narrative clarity, while construct forms convey relational nuance without restructuring.
Root and etymology
