>"vay$allaxu: )et-kato:net happassi:m" is perfectly fine.
However, "vayy?:vi:)u:" has no object to explain what they brought. This
appears very unusual to me.
Hebrew is one of the languages that can drop both subjects and
objects. "They brought it" is most naturally expressed as VAYAVI'U in
Hebrew. Exodus 32:3 shows the same pattern with the same verb.
