the thousands
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הָ) prefixed to masculine plural absolute noun אֲלָפִים from lemma אֶלֶף (H505). No pronominal suffix; plural ending ־ִים marks masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הָאֲלָפִים is a masculine plural noun with the definite article, meaning "the thousands." This rendering preserves both the numerical sense of אֶלֶף and its broader sense of large, organized groupings (clan-units), while accurately reflecting the definite article and masculine plural morphology. |
