Exegesis
Finally, the vav-consecutive va‘avor {וַעֲבֽוֹר | va-ʿă-vōr} ‘and pass on’ links the commands into a progressive sequence. This rapid series of prohibitions and imperatives, anchored by the vav-consecutive, underscores urgent moral separation from the wicked way.
In context — Proverbs 4:15
Avoid it; do not pass by it. Turn aside from it, and pass on.
