قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَصْرُخَنَّ بِهَا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ،
He said, "By the One in whose hand my soul is, I will certainly call out with it between their shoulder-blades."
وَالَّذِي and the One who
This opens an oath. The wa- here is not the ordinary 'and' of a list; attached to a noun it swears 'by' that thing, and what follows ('the One who...') is the relative description being sworn by. So the wa- sets up a solemn vow, not a connection between two items.

وَالَّذِي By the One who
'wa-' here is the special oath-'by', not plain 'and': it swears by what follows and forces that following phrase into the form an oath governs. Its job is to open a solemn vow, beyond any 'and' reading.
