It emphasizes the act of moving from one place to another, which in this case refers to the Israelites leaving Ezion-geber. The parsing as a sequential imperfect third person masculine plural indicates that this action is part of a continuous narrative of their travels.

The use of this verb sets the tone for the narrative of their travels, emphasizing the physical act of departing and the significance of the locations they are leaving and arriving at.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb וַיִּסְע֖וּ governs the sentence, indicating the action of setting out. This is followed by a prepositional phrase indicating the starting point, מֵעֶצְי֣ון, and another verb וַיַּחֲנ֥וּ that indicates the subsequent action of camping.
The structure emphasizes the sequential nature of their journey: first they set out, then they encamped. The word order highlights the importance of the actions taken by the Israelites as they navigate their path through the wilderness.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וַיִּסְע֖וּ with ἀπῆραν which means 'they departed.' This choice reflects a straightforward rendering of the Hebrew verb, maintaining the sense of movement away from a location.
The Greek translation captures the essence of the Hebrew while also aligning with the narrative style of the Septuagint, which often emphasizes the actions of the people in their journey.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads: וַיִּסְע֖וּ מֵעֶצְי֣ון גָּ֑בֶר וַיַּחֲנ֥וּ בְמִדְבַּר־ צִ֖ן הִ֥וא קָדֵֽשׁ׃. The Septuagint matches closely with the Masoretic Text, with only minor differences in word order. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs slightly, using הִיא instead of הִוא for 'that,' but the overall meaning remains consistent across these witnesses.
וַיִּסְע֖וּ מֵעֶצְי֣וֹן גָּ֑בֶר וַיַּחֲנ֥וּ בְמִדְבַּר־ צִ֖ן הִ֥וא קָדֵֽשׁ׃

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

(flat), the name given to a portion of the desert tract between the Dead Sea, Ghor , and Arabah on the east, and the general plateau of the Tih which stretches westward. The country in question consists of two or three successive terraces of mountain converging to an acute single at the Dead Sea’s southern verge, toward which also they slope. Kadesh lay in it, and here also Idumea was conterminous with Judah; since Kadesh was a city in the border of Edom. [See KADESH, KADESHBARNEA]. (Numbers 13:21; 20:1; 27:14; 33:36; 34:3; Joshua 15:1)
A desert on the south border of Canaan, and the west of Edom, Nu 34:1-4. It formed part of the great wilderness of Paran, Nu 13:26; and in its north-east corner was Kadesh-barnea, memorable for the death of Miriam, the mission of the twelve spies into Canaan, the murmuring of the Israelites, the rock flowing with water, and the unholy passion of Moses, Nu 13:21 20:1-13 27:14.

Kadesh
The sacred city of the Hittites, on the left bank of the Orontes, about 4 miles south of the Lake of Homs. It is identified with the great mound Tell Neby Mendeh, some 50 to 100 feet high, and 400 yards long. On the ruins of the temple of Karnak, in Egypt, has been found an inscription recording the capture of this city by Rameses II. (See PHARAOH.) Here the sculptor “has chiselled in deep work on the stone, with a bold execution of the several parts, the procession of the warriors, the battle before Kadesh, the storming of the fortress, the overthrow of the enemy, and the camp life of the Egyptians.” (See HITTITES.)
