Exegesis
Conjunctive vehazahav {וְהַזָּהָ֖ב | wə·hā·zā·hāv} then coordinates gold as a second decorative element, and the construct zehav parvayim {זְהַב פַּרְוָיִם | ze·hāv par·wā·yim} identifies Parvaim as the source. In English the Hebrew VSO order is rendered in SVO to maintain clarity while preserving the balanced emphasis on stone and gold adornment.
Root and etymology
