Exegesis
The verse employs a sequence of vav-consecutive verbs, starting with vayedabber {וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר | way·yə·ḏab·bē·r} ‘and he spoke,’ followed by vayotsi’u {וַיּוֹצִ֣יאוּ | way·yō·ṣî·ʾū} ‘and they brought out,’ and vayirgemu {וַיִּרְגְּמ֥וּ | way·yir·gə·mū} ‘and they stoned,’ which underscores the formal enactment of the legal procedure.
In context — Leviticus 24:23
And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought out the one who blasphemed outside the camp and stoned him with a stone. And the sons of Israel did just as the LORD had commanded Moses .
