and night
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed conjunction וְ/וָ ("and") or occasionally prefixed preposition בְ ("in"). No definite article in the given forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לַיְלָה is a masculine singular absolute meaning "night," with a prefixed conjunction וָ meaning "and." The rendering "and night" preserves the singular masculine noun and reflects the root sense of the turning away or withdrawal of light inherent in ליל. |
