Pere:

On what are you basing that claim? The Masoretic points? How far do you
trust the Masoritic points?

דבר אל בני ישראל וישבו ויחנו לפני פי החירת בין מגדל ובין הים לפני בעל צפן
נכחו תחנו על הים

Express unto the Children of Israel that they settle down and encamp before
Pi Hachirot between Migdol and between the sea before Baal Tsafon, they
will go forward to encamp next to the sea. (These are verbs in the plural
concerning the actions of numerous individuals.)

יבוא שלום ינוחו על משכבותם הלך נכחו

Fullness should come. They rest upon their beds, walking they go forward.
(Verbs and subject in the plural, “walking” is a participle.)

Looking at the contexts, the contexts indicate that these are verbs.

Now why do you claim that they are not verbs?
