SIBI-P1 H3427-19

the dwelling ones

Rootישב (y-š-b)
Core Meaningssitting, dwelling, remaining, abiding, settling
Semantic Rangeto sit, remain, dwell, inhabit, reside, stay, settle, abide; by extension those who inhabit a land or city
Conceptual SignificanceFrom the root idea of sitting or remaining in place, יָשַׁב develops into a key term for covenantal presence in the land—those who "dwell" are those who occupy, belong, and remain. It often marks identity tied to place, whether Israel dwelling securely in the land or other peoples inhabiting territories.
Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). Functions substantivally: "the ones dwelling" or "the inhabitants."
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal masculine plural participle with the definite article, literally "the ones who are sitting/dwelling." Rendering it as "the dwelling ones" preserves the participial, ongoing sense of y-š-b (to sit, dwell, remain) while reflecting the masculine plural form and the definite article.
