the men

Rootאיש (ʾ-y-š)
Core Meaningsman, male individual, person, extant being
Semantic Rangeman as individual or male; husband; each/every one; fellow/another man; certain person; mighty/great man; often adjunct to specify or unexpressed in translation; contrasts with אֱנוֹשׁ (mortal/weak) and אָדָם (humanity).[5][7]
Conceptual SignificanceEmphasizes individuality, social standing, and masculinity in biblical contexts, often highlighting human agency, responsibility, or relational roles (e.g., husband in Gen 2:23-24); underscores distinctions in human identity versus divine, with theological implications for covenantal and marital patterns.[7]
Morphological NotesHTd/Ncmpa: definite article (הָ) + masculine common plural absolute noun (אֲנָשִׁים) from lemma אִישׁ.
Rendering RationaleThe form הָאֲנָשִׁים is the definite masculine plural of אִישׁ (HTd/Ncmpa), directly rendered as 'the men' to preserve the grammatical gender (masculine), number (plural), and definite article; this maintains the root's core sense of individual male persons without alteration.[5][7]
