and seasonal streams

Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + masculine plural absolute noun (נְחָלִים) from נַחַל.
Rendering RationaleThe noun נְחָלִים is the masculine plural absolute form of נַחַל, derived from the root meaning "to flow" or "to stream." Rendering it as "seasonal streams" preserves the core idea of flowing watercourses that run during rains, and the prefixed וּ adds the conjunction "and."
