and the hair
Hair, generally referring to the collective hair on the head or body of humans or animals; by extension, can denote a single hair or hairiness, particularly as a physical trait. In specific contexts, also used metaphorically for something fine or bristly (e.g., the 'hair' of a goat or roughness of a garment). The term encompasses both the natural state of hair and, by extension, the attribute of hairiness or roughness as a distinguishing physical characteristic.

SIBI-P1 Translation H8181-08
and bristly hair of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, construct state, with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to be bristly, rough, shaggy" and denotes hair as a bristly growth. The masculine singular construct form requires the relational sense "hair of," and the prefixed conjunction adds "and." |
