against the enemies
An adversary or enemy, specifically one who bears enmity or hostility toward another individual or group. The term encompasses both personal and collective opposition, often referring to enemies in armed conflict, but also extending to any context of antagonism or active opposition. In the Hebrew Bible, it designates those opposed to individuals (e.g., David's personal enemies), to the people as a group (Israelites' national foes), or, metaphorically, to abstract or cosmic adversaries.

SIBI-P1 Translation H341-01
among hostile-ones of
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural construct of אֹיֵב with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in/among"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֹיֵב is the Qal active participle meaning "one who is hostile," here masculine plural in construct form ("hostile-ones of"). The prefixed בְּ adds the sense "in/among," yielding "among hostile-ones of" while preserving participial force and plural construct morphology. |
