וְ ^, וּ conj. and ( ^BH וְ ) ^, used mostly as in Heb. , except that there is no ו

‘consecutive’;— and , connecting both words ( Dn 2:5 ) and sentences ( ib. ). When three

or more words are connected together, וְ may connect them all ( Dn 2:6 , 10 ; 4:34 ;

5:18 ), or only the two last ( 2:17 ; 3:4 ; 4:4 Ezr 6: 9), or the three last (Dn 2:3 7; 3:21 ), or

be omitted altogether ( 2:27 ; 5:11 , cf. 3:2 Ezr 4: 9). וְ also connects vbs. , in cases where

BH would use וַ · ^{, as Dn 4:2; 5:29; 6:17,} 25 ; in such cases a pf. is often followed by a

ptcp. , as Dn 2:7 עֲנוֹ וְאָֽמְרִין ^{, so v} 1 0; 3:9 , 16 , 24 +, hence in 2:5 , 8 , 15 , 20 and

often read prob. with Nö GGA 1884, 1021 עֲנָה וְאָמַר ^(for עָנֵה ). Special senses:— a.

= that , 2:13 ; 6:2 ( cf. K ^{§ 102}). e. introducing the pred. ( cf. BH 5 c ), Dn 7:20 וְקִרְנָא דִכֵּן וְעַיְנִין לַהּ and this horn, it had eyes; but the case is isolated, and del. prob. וְ
