ו/אשר
𐤅/𐤀𐤔𐤓
ʼăsher
where
A relative pronoun introducing dependent clauses, referring to persons, things, places, or concepts, often translated as 'who,' 'which,' 'that,' or 'what.' In some syntactic environments, it functions adverbially ('where,' 'when,' 'how') or as a conjunction ('because,' 'since,' 'in order that'). The particle thus serves to connect modifying or explanatory clauses to their referents in main clauses. Its usage encompasses both restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses, as well as a variety of idiomatic extensions in context.

and that which
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + relative particle אֲשֶׁר; indeclinable relative pronoun functioning to introduce a dependent clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The prefixed conjunction ו means "and," attached to the indeclinable relative particle אֲשֶׁר, which introduces a dependent clause. "And that which" preserves both the connective force and the clause-linking function inherent in the particle. |
