SIBI-P1 H5329-04
the excelling overseers
| Morphological Notes | Piel active participle, masculine plural absolute (מְנַצְּחִים), from נָצַח. The Piel stem conveys intensive or active supervision; the participle denotes ongoing function—"those who are overseeing." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine plural active participle in the Piel stem, describing those who are actively exercising oversight. "Excelling" reflects the root idea of shining forth or being eminent, while "overseers" captures the established sense of supervisory leadership; the plural form is preserved in "overseers." |
