Exegesis

The pronoun vehu {וְהוּא | wə-hûʾ} introduces a descriptive clause comprised of three coordinated elements: the adjective admoni {אַדְמוֹנִי | ʾăd-mō-nî} ‘ruddy’, the prepositional phrase im yefeh einayim {עִם־יְפֵה עֵינַיִם | ʿim yə-p̄ê-hê ʿê-nā-yim} ‘with beautiful eyes’, and the adjective phrase vetov ro’i {וְטוֹב רֹאִי | wə-ṭôwḇ rō-ʾî} ‘handsome appearance’, linked by the conjunction waw {וְ | wə-}.
