and-steps
A going up, ascent, or step upwards, used both in literal and figurative senses. Primarily denotes a physical step, stair, or upward movement (e.g., an architectural step or stage in a journey), but also describes a social or spiritual elevation, such as increase in status, rank, or spiritual condition. In particular contexts, denotes a stage in a process, a degree or measure of quality, or a thought or intention that arises. In the superscriptions of certain Psalms (Psalms of Ascents), refers specifically to songs associated with pilgrimage or gradual progression toward a holy place.

and ascents of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + feminine plural construct noun מַעֲלוֹת from מַעֲלָה (root עלה). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַעֲלָה denotes "that which is an ascent" from the root עלה (to go up, ascend). The plural construct form מַעֲלוֹת with prefixed וּ preserves the plural feminine sense "ascents of," with the conjunction "and" reflecting the prefixed waw. |
