and look!
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to demonstrative/interjection particle הִנֵּה; presentational marker with emphatic force. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base particle הִנֵּה functions as an attention-directing interjection meaning "look!" or "behold!" from the root הן, "to point out." The prefixed conjunction וְ adds "and," preserving the connective force of the form. |
