and six of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + cardinal number; masculine singular; construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is the masculine singular construct form of the cardinal number "six" (שֵׁשׁ), preceded by the conjunction וְ ("and"). The construct state requires a following noun, hence the rendering "six of," preserving both number and syntactic linkage. |
