and a measuring rod
A reed—referring to the tall, slender, jointed stems of grasses that grow in wet areas—used literally for the plant and figuratively for objects made from such stems, such as rods, staffs, measuring sticks, and writing tools. Also refers to a measuring rod or standard of length, a stalk, or shaft of implements, and, by extension, can describe a part of the body (radius of the arm, limb, or bone) or structural/supportive elements (beam, shaft). In certain contexts, it denotes aromatic or valuable plants, such as calamus.

and reed-of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + masculine singular common noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קָנֶה denotes a reed or stalk and related rod-like objects. The masculine singular construct form requires an "of" relationship, so "reed-of" preserves both the root sense and the construct morphology, with the prefixed conjunction rendered as "and." |
