to cutters of
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural, construct state (כֹרְתֵי) with prefixed preposition לְ (“to”). From the root כרת. Occurs once in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine plural in construct with a prefixed לְ (“to”). As a participle, it denotes "those who cut," and the masculine plural is reflected in "cutters." The construct state requires a following complement (“of …”), preserved in the rendering to reflect the grammatical linkage. |
