Exodus 4:3 WAY:HIY L:NAXA$ = and it became a serpent.
No! The rod became like a serpent, not actually a serpent. No magic here.
How do you deduce that? It then devoured the other serpents.
Judges 1:33 WB"YT `A:NAT HAYW LAHEM LAMAS = and Beth Anath became forced
labor for them.
like slaves, not actually slaves
Why not? Assuming that "forced labor" means "slaves".
Ruth 4:13 VAYYIQAX BO`AZ ET RWT VATT:HIY-LW = and Boaz took Ruth and she
became to him.
you know, she did not actually become his wife
WHAT? Of course she did. Look at the next word: Le'i$$ah. Look also at vss. 10-11. You might not like the idea of "buying" a wife, but wife she was.
