SIBI-P1 H3548-18

officiating priests

Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun, absolute state (HNcmpa); from the verbal root כהן "to officiate, serve as priest." No pronominal suffix; functions as a regular masculine plural substantive.
Rendering RationaleThe noun כֹּהֵן derives from the verbal idea "to officiate" or "to serve in a sacred capacity." Rendering the masculine plural absolute form כֹּהֲנִים as "officiating priests" preserves both the active, service-oriented sense of the root and the masculine plural morphology indicated by HNcmpa.
