and to the-one-which

Morphological NotesHC/R/Tr: Hebrew Conjunction / Relative / Translative (preposition וְלַ 'and to' + definite article + indeclinable relative pronoun אֲשֶׁר); surfaces show minor orthographic variants but identical parsing.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the primitive relative sense of אשר as a connector ('the-one-which') while exactly reflecting the morphology HC/R/Tr as 'wə-laʾăšer' (conjunction 'and-to' + definite article + relative pronoun), maintaining its indeclinable nature without gender/number/person specifications. It avoids modern glosses like 'those who' to highlight the root's core relational function. The hyphenated form underscores the fused preposition-article-relative structure common in Hebrew.
