Exegesis
The Hebrew narrative employs a vav-consecutive sequence to propel the story: vayomer {וַיֹּ֧אמֶר | vā-yō-mer} ‘and he said’, vayikkacheha {וַיִּקָּחֶ֙הָ֙ | vay-yik-kā-ḥə-hā} ‘and he took her’, vayakam {וַיָּ֣קָם | vā-yā-qām} ‘and he rose’, vayelekh {וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ | vā-yē-leḵ} ‘and he went’.
In context — Judges 19:28
And he said to her, “Arise , and let us go.” But there was no answering . Then he took her and placed her upon the donkey, and the man stood up and went to his place.
