the young men
A young male, typically from infancy through adolescence, with usage ranging from child to youth to young man; by extension, one serving in an apprentice, servant, or attendant role.

The term can also, albeit less commonly, refer to a young female ('na‘arah'), but the masculine singular generally designates a male child or adolescent.

the youths
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural absolute with definite article (הַ + נְּעָרִים). |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine plural absolute form with definite article denotes specific young males. "The youths" preserves the age-focused sense derived from the root idea of stirred or active vitality, without narrowing to a specific role such as servant. |
