and definite-object marker
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to particle אֵת; direct object marker with no independent lexical meaning in normal usage. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the conjunction וְ ('and') with אֵת, the particle marking a definite direct object. Since אֵת functions grammatically rather than lexically, the rendering preserves its role as an object-indicating marker while reflecting the prefixed conjunction. |
