Verb form VIII — reflexive

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ (And take for yourselves) uses form VIII (إِفْتَعَلَ) — it means doing the action for yourself or by yourself.

We translate it as "to [verb] for oneself".

Conjunction وَ (and)

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ (And take for yourselves) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

And take for yourselves constructions [i.e., palaces and fortresses] that you might abide eternally?
