men of

Rootאיש (ʾ-y-š)
Core Meaningsman, male individual, person, existent one
Semantic Rangeman (individual male), men (group of males), husband, anyone/any person, champion/mighty man, fellow, each/every one; often indefinite or generic for persons
Conceptual SignificanceEmphasizes individuality and male identity in covenant contexts, distinguishing from broader terms like אֱנוֹשׁ (frail humanity) or אָדָם (humankind); used ~168 times, frequently in military ('men of war'), leadership, or collective responsibility roles, underscoring themes of strength, duty, and representation in Israel's story.
Morphological NotesHNcmpc: Noun, Hebrew, common (masculine), masculine plural, construct state. The construct form אַנְשֵׁי links to a following noun, e.g., 'men of [X]'.
Rendering RationaleThe form אַנְשֵׁי is the masculine plural construct of אִישׁ (H376), functioning as 'men of' in genitive constructions, preserving the male gender and plural number as indicated by HNcmpc morphology. This rendering maintains the root's core sense of 'man as an individual or male person' without introducing unrelated connotations. It reflects the common biblical usage as an adjunct specifying a group of males.
