Exegesis
The sequential vav in wə-nātenû {וְנָתְנוּ | wə-nā-tenû} ‘and they will place’ (vav + Qal perfect third masculine plural) introduces the utensils, each marked by direct-object markers ʾet {אֶת | ʾet} and wə-ʾet {וְאֵת | wə-ʾet}, listing keʿārot {קְעָרֹת | qə-ʿā-rōṯ} ‘dishes’, kappōt {כַּפֹּת | ka-pôṯ} ‘ladles’, mennaqiyyōt {מְנַקִּיֹּת | men-na-qî-yōt} ‘bowls’, and kəsōṯ han-nāseḵ {קְשׂוֹת הַנָּסֶךְ | qə-ʿōṯ ha-nā-sekh} ‘cups of libation’.
In context — Numbers 4:7
And upon the table of the Presence they shall spread a blue cloth and place on it the plates, the ladles, the bowls, and the cups for the libation; and the perpetual bread shall remain on it.
