Exegesis
The vav {וְ | wə} ‘and’ serves as a polysyndetic conjunction linking the proper nouns nogah {נֹגַהּ | nō-gāh}, nepheg {נֶפֶג | nĕ-pĕg}, and yaphia {יָפִיעַ | yā-pî-ʿā}. This structure emphasizes each name in sequence. The absence of a translating conjunction before the first element in English lists contrasts with Hebrew style, which employs vav before each term to maintain rhythmic and semantic cohesion. The final element’s lack of a succeeding vav signals the close of the enumeration.
