Exegesis
A series of vav-consecutive verbs—vayashkimu {וַיַּשְׁכִּימוּ | va-yaš-kĭ-mû} ‘and they rose early’, baboker {בַּבֹּקֶר | ba-bō-qer} ‘in the morning’, and vayakam {וַיָּקָם | va-yā-qām} ‘and he rose’—propels the action forward, with the infinitive lalechet {לָלֶכֶת | lā-lĕ-ḵet} ‘to go’ expressing purpose linked to departure.
In context — Judges 19:5
And it happened on the fourth day, and they got up early in the morning, and he rose to depart, and the father of the young woman said to his son-in-law, “Strengthen your heart with a piece of bread, and afterward you may go .”
