and as one
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition כְ + adjective, cardinal number, masculine singular, construct form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The conjunction וּ (and) plus the preposition כְ (as/like) prefixed to the masculine singular cardinal אַחַד yields the sense "and as one," expressing unity or singularity. The masculine singular form preserves the idea of a single, united entity. |
