and those who turn leftward
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil active participle masculine plural denotes ones who cause or make a movement toward the left. Rendered as "those who turn leftward" to reflect the participial verbal-adjectival force and plural masculine form, with the conjunction "and" preserved. |
