Jussive verb

وَلْيَحْكُمْ (And let judge) is in the jussive mood — it comes after لم ("did not") or a conditional word, which shortens its ending.

We translate it as "did not [verb]" or as part of a condition.

Conjunction وَ (and)

وَلْيَحْكُمْ (And let judge) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

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