Exegesis

The transition vatetsar {וַתֵּעָצַר | wətaʿāṣṣar} ‘and it was stopped’ in the Niphal imperfect conveys the halting of divine judgment encoded in hammagefah {הַמַּגֵּפָה | hammaggēp̄āh}, and meal bnei yisrael {מֵעַל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | mēʿāl bnē-yisrāʾēl} specifies removal of the affliction from the community.

In context — Numbers 25:8

He entered after the Israelite man into the chamber, and he pierced both of them—the man and the woman—into her belly . Then the plague ceased among the Israelites.
