and the one saying
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וְ, indicating an ongoing or characteristic act of speaking. Rendering it as "the one saying" preserves its participial, verbal-adjectival force rather than converting it into a finite verb. |
