and lacking
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive absolute, with prefixed conjunction וְ |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive absolute expresses the core verbal action of the root חסר in its simple stem, denoting the state or process of lacking or being deficient. Rendering it as "and lacking" preserves the verbal force and reflects the prefixed conjunction. |
