May be you would like to set forth your argument using the waw with supportive texts. I take it you are simply refering to the repetition of "and".
Simple. Read every "and" in the Old Testament. With the exception of a few Psalms, written in obvious poetic form, every and implies temporal, narrative chronology.

Now, as to textual support. I will not copy paste every Hebrew verse that has "and" in it!
