Exegesis
The narrative then shifts with the vav-consecutive Nifal imperfect wayyiqqadesh {וַיִּקָּדֵשׁ | wayyiqqāḏēš} ‘and he was sanctified’, emphasizing divine action, followed by bam {בָּם | bām} ‘among them’ to indicate location. English translation preserves the construct order, relative clause linkage, and the sequential vav-consecutive structure, highlighting the juxtaposition of Israel’s conflict and divine holiness.
