Sign, symbol, mark, or distinguishing feature that serves as a visible representation or indicator, often of a message, covenant, or event. 'אוֹת' can refer to a sign given as divine communication (such as a miraculous event or portent), a physical mark or proof, an identifying emblem (such as a standard or banner), or a portent signifying future events. Its meaning varies depending on context: it can denote a miraculous act, a natural phenomenon identified as a sign, a physical or symbolic marker, or a representative symbol such as a letter in post-biblical Hebrew.

and the distinguishing signs
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + definite article הָ + noun common plural absolute; gender both; no suffixes. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אוֹת denotes a mark or sign that distinguishes or designates. The plural absolute form with prefixed conjunction and definite article (וְהָ) is preserved as "and the," and the plural sense is reflected in "signs," qualified by "distinguishing" to retain the root idea of marking or designation. |
