and to a building-stone
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + preposition לְ + noun אֶבֶן, feminine singular (construct/absolute in pointed forms). No pronominal suffix; singular feminine noun with prefixed particles. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֶבֶן is a feminine singular noun meaning "stone," likely related conceptually to the root בנה (to build). Rendering it as "building-stone" preserves its connection to construction and structure. The prefixed conjunction וּ ("and") and preposition לְ ("to/for") are reflected in "and to," and the singular form is maintained in "a ... stone." |
