and faces

Morphological NotesCommon noun, plural absolute (plural of extension), with prefixed conjunction וּ; no pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun פָּנִים derives from the root meaning "to turn" and denotes what is turned outward and visible—thus "face" or "surface." Although often singular in sense, it is morphologically plural absolute; the prefixed וּ adds "and," yielding "and faces."
