Exegesis
The prefixed vav in vattepaltemo {וַתְּפַלְּטֵמוֹ | wa-ttə-pal-lə-ṭê-mō}, a Piel imperfect with consecutive vav, underscores the efficacy of the deliverance, with the suffix -mo tracing back to avoteinu. English renders the Hebrew verb-subject-object sequence into subject-verb-object to uphold clarity while preserving the Hebrew’s climactic build, culminating in the divine act of redemption.
