and lifted-one of

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + masculine singular noun in construct state from נָשִׂיא; construct form indicates possession or association with a following noun.
Rendering Rationaleנָשִׂיא derives from the root נשׂא (“to lift, raise”) and literally denotes a "lifted" or "exalted" one. The form is a masculine singular noun in the construct state (Ncmsc) with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”), so "and lifted-one of" preserves both the root sense of exaltation and the grammatical construct relationship.
