SIBI-P1 H6496-04
appointed overseers
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural absolute noun from פָּקִיד (pāqîd). The form functions substantivally, referring to men set over a responsibility. No pronominal suffix is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פָּקִיד derives from the root פקד, which carries the sense of attending to, appointing, or entrusting oversight. As a masculine plural absolute noun (HNcmpa), פְּקִידִים refers to multiple men who have been appointed to a charge. "Appointed overseers" preserves both the root idea of being entrusted/appointed and the masculine plural form of the word. |
