Exegesis

A subsequent vav-consecutive imperfect vayyivrēḥû {וַיִּבְרְח֧וּ | way-yivrēḥû} expresses the result, where both Levites and singers ve-hamshorerim {וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִ֖ים | wə-hamšôrərîm} abandon the temple labor, and the construct ʾîš-lesadehu {אִישׁ־לְשָׂדֵ֛הוּ | ʾîš-lə-sāḏē-hû} indicates their individual withdrawal to personal fields. The translation preserves the Hebrew verb sequence and coordination while clarifying the shift from cultic neglect to agrarian return.

In context — Nehemiah 13:10

And I knew that the portions of the Levites had not been given, and so each of the Levites and the singers who did the work fled to his own field.
