Exegesis
The second Vav-consecutive Hiphil verb vattāqī {וַתָּקִ֥א | waṯ·tā·qīʾ} ‘and it vomited out’ personifies the land, expelling et-yōšēvēhā {אֶת־יֹשְׁבֶֽיהָ | ʾet·yō·še·wē·hā} ‘its inhabitants’.
In context — Leviticus 18:25
And the land became defiled, and I attended to its iniquity upon it, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
