and the written record
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + noun, masculine singular, determined (emphatic state in Aramaic). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root כתב, denoting something produced by writing. The masculine singular determined (emphatic/definite) form requires "the," and the prefixed conjunction וּ adds "and," yielding "and the written record." |
