وَرفع and was raised

فَرُفِعَ where...was presented

The connector fa- 'so/then' fused to a passive verb. Fa- marks this as the next step in the scene, and the verb is passive: the foreleg was brought to him by someone left unnamed, with the passive shown by the vowel pattern inside the verb rather than a helper word.
