Exegesis
Each verb is followed by its object—bo {בּוֹ | bō} ‘him’ or paneha {פָנֶיהָ | pā-nê-hā} ‘her face’—culminating in the direct speech vattomar lo {וַתֹּאמַר לֽוֹ | wă-ṯō-ʾā-mar lō} ‘and she said to him’. The asyndetic coordination heightens dramatic tension from physical action to audacious speech, mirrored in the English by a shift from active verbs to descriptive phrase.
Root and etymology
