וְ/לַ/אֲשֶׁ֥ר

ʼăsher
and for those
A relative pronoun introducing dependent clauses, referring to persons, things, places, or concepts, often translated as 'who,' 'which,' 'that,' or 'what.' In some syntactic environments, it functions adverbially ('where,' 'when,' 'how') or as a conjunction ('because,' 'since,' 'in order that'). The particle thus serves to connect modifying or explanatory clauses to their referents in main clauses. Its usage encompasses both restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses, as well as a variety of idiomatic extensions in context.

SIBI-P1 Translation H834-14
and to that which
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition לְ + indeclinable relative particle אֲשֶׁר; no gender or number marking. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the conjunction וְ (and) with the preposition לְ (to/for) attached to the relative particle אֲשֶׁר. "And to that which" preserves the connective force, the directional preposition, and the clause-introducing function rooted in the idea of "that which is set/straight." |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and for that which
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Adjusted to 'and for that which' for smoother and more contextually precise English, as this refers to a category (what is in your houses), in agreement with the relative particle's function here. |
