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.
