and like light

Morphological Notesוּ conjunction + כְּ preposition (“like/as”) + noun common masculine singular construct from אוֹר. Though marked construct, it functions substantivally after the preposition.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אוֹר derives from the root אור, conveying the idea of shining or illumination. It appears here as a masculine singular noun (construct form) governed by the preposition כְּ (“like”) and preceded by the conjunction וְ (“and”), yielding the sense “and like light.” The rendering preserves both the root concept of radiance and the singular masculine form indicated in the morphology.
