A conjunctive waw or vav conjunctive Hebrew vav hakhivur is the use of Hebrew vav letter as a conjunction to join two parts of speech. It is distinct from waw consecutive which is a verb construction. Conjunction of two nouns Primarily two noun s may be joined by conjunctive vav without equation, for example Moshe v Aron Moses and Aaron . Conjunctive vav may however indicate hendiadys where two nouns are equated. An example is found in two examples from Leviticus 25 where the nouns ger stranger, and toshav sojourner, are joined by conjunctive waw and usually construed as a hendiadys. However, in Numbers 35 15, each noun is accompanied by the repeated prepositional prefix lo to, as in to the stranger and vav to the sojourner, which indicates two distinct concepts. ref Jeffrey Stackert Rewriting the Torah literary revision in Deuteronomy and the Holiness Legislation Mohr Siebeck 9783161492983 2007 Page 89 90 footnote 152 In these examples from Lev 25, these two nouns are connected by a conjunctive waw and are usually construed as a hendiadys however, in Num 35 15, each noun is accompanied by the preposition l , suggesting that they are understood as distinct from each other. Toshav also appears in Lev 22 10 25 6, 40, 45. Gen 23 attests the unparalled.. ref Conjunction of two verbs Waw conjunctive may also be used or omitted between two verbs. In imperative sentences such as sit and wait the use of the waw between the two verbs is particularly common in maskilic literature, but there are no clear cut semantic considerations regulating the use of vav conjunctive. ref Lily Kahn The verbal system in late enlightenment Hebrew p271 ref References reflist category Hebrew grammar ... more details
