and a gathering-chest

Morphological NotesConjunction וַ + noun common masculine singular (construct form without article). Although morphologically construct, the form is identical to the absolute and functions as a singular noun; no pronominal suffix is present.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָרוֹן derives from a root associated with gathering or collecting, referring to a container that gathers and holds contents. The form is masculine singular with a prefixed conjunction ("and"), and without the article; thus "and a gathering-chest" preserves both the root sense and the singular grammatical form.
