and to his sister
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition ל + feminine singular construct noun + 3ms pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָחוֹת means "sister," a female sibling from the root אח denoting kinship. The construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix yields "his sister," and the prefixed conjunction and preposition add "and to." |
