mâshîyach
my anointed ones
Anointed one; a person ceremonially marked by anointing oil to designate appointment to a special office, most commonly king or priest. The term refers variously to an individual divinely chosen for leadership (such as an Israelite king) or to a priest (notably the high priest), sometimes to a prophet. In post-exilic and later Hebrew texts, it can refer with increasing specificity to a future ideal ruler, especially in eschatological contexts. The semantic range includes any person set apart by anointing for sacred or public office.

SIBI-P1 Translation H4899-02
in my anointed ones
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בּ + masculine plural construct adjective מְשִׁיחֵי with 1st common singular suffix; "in my anointed ones." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מָשִׁיחַ means "anointed one," derived directly from the root meaning "to anoint." The masculine plural construct form with a 1cs suffix yields "my anointed ones," and the prefixed בּ adds the prepositional sense "in." |
