Exegesis
The adversative vav in wāʾārōn {וַאֲר֤וֹן | wāʾārōn} ‘and the ark’ shifts to a contrasting clause, introducing bĕrît-Yəhōwāh {בְּרִית־יְהוָה | bĕrît-Yəhōwāh} ‘of the covenant of the LORD’ alongside ū-Mōšeh {וּמֹשֶׁה | ū-Mōšeh} ‘and Moses’ as parallel subjects.
Root and etymology

In context — Numbers 14:44
