Exegesis

Vayaʿalu {וַיַּעֲלּוּ | wayyaʿălû} ‘they offered up’ governs the coordinated nouns olot {עֹלוֹת | ʿôlôṯ} ‘burnt offerings’ and shelamim {שְׁלָמִים | šəlāmîm} ‘peace offerings’, reflecting the ritual sequence. The chain of vav-consecutives creates a cohesive progression rendered in English through coordinated clauses.
