Exegesis
Finally, vayered {וַיֵּרֶד | wayyēreḏ} ‘and he descended’ unites Moses and Eleazar as they leave the sacred site. The repeated vav-consecutive pattern creates a formal narrative rhythm, while the use of construct phrases and clitic markers underscores the ordered transfer of priestly authority and the precise geographical setting.
