Exegesis
The verse opens with ve-khol ish yiś-rā-’ēl {וְכֹל אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל | wə-ḵōl ’îš yiś-rā-’ēl} introducing a collective subject under the vav-conjunction.
The second clause mirrors this pattern: ve-’ō-rēḇ yiś-rā-’ēl {וְאֹרֵב יִשְׂרָאֵל | wə-’ō-rēḇ yiś-rā-’ēl} “and the ambush of Israel” is followed by the Hifil participle mē-gī-’aḥ {מֵגִיחַ | mē-gī-’aḥ} “burst forth,” creating a vivid portrayal of sudden attack.
