Exegesis
The verse employs sequential vav-consecutive forms to drive the narrative—vattisa {וַתִּשָּׂא֙ | va-tti-sāʾ} “lifted up,” vayittnu {וַיִּתְּנוּ | va-yit-te-nû} “they gave,” and vayivku {וַיִּבְכּ֥וּ | va-yiv-kū} “they wept.”
In context — Numbers 14:1
Then all the congregation lifted up their voice, and the people wept that night.
