Exegesis
The conjunction vav introduces vehadarta {וְהָדַרְתָּ | wə-hā-ḏar-tā} in the Piel perfect, intensifying the command to honor by explicitly specifying face penei {פְּנֵי | pə-nê} of the elder—an idiomatic construct.
In context — Leviticus 19:32
You shall stand up before the aged and show honor to the face of the old man. And you shall fear your God . I am the LORD.
