فَرُفِعَتْ لَنَا صَخْرَةٌ طَوْيِلَةٌ،

Then a long rock was raised for us.

فَرُفِعَتْ then was raised

The leading 'fa-' (so/then) advances the scene, fused onto a verb in its passive shape: the rock receives the action of being raised, with no stated raiser. Arabic builds the passive by changing the vowels inside the verb itself, not by adding a helper like English 'was'. So the form looks close to its active twin but flips who does and who undergoes.
