Difference in Hebrew between חֹ֔שֶׁךְ (ḥō·šeḵ) and וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ (wə·ḥō·šeḵ) I was wondering if anyone would be able to provide illumination on the difference between the following Hebrew words. Both utilize the same Strong's definition # 2822.

ḥō·šeḵ | חֹ֔שֶׁךְ | Reference example: Isa 45:7

wə·ḥō·šeḵ | וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ | Reference Example: Ge 1:2

Are these the exact same word? Does the inclusion of "we" in "wehosek" changing the meaning at all?

Thank you!
khoshekh - חשך means "darkness"

vi'khoshekh - וחשך means "and darkness"

Remembering the following common conjunctions will be useful:


ו - and
ה - the
מ - from
ב - in
ש - that


For example, if I say, "bread and water from Christ", it would be 

לחם ומים ממשיח
