and a log
A liquid measure used in the ancient Israelite cultic and social contexts, especially for oil and other ritual liquids; understood as a standardized unit of capacity, roughly equivalent to approximately 0.3 to 0.5 liters (varies by estimation). The term refers primarily to the measurement itself, not the vessel, but is always used with reference to volumes of liquid, never solids.

and a liquid-measure
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֹג denotes a standardized unit of liquid capacity used in cultic contexts. Rendering it as "liquid-measure" preserves its technical sense as a unit of volume rather than a vessel, and the conjunction וְ is reflected by "and"; the singular masculine absolute form is conveyed by "a." |
