many
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine plural, absolute state; often appears with prefixed conjunction (וְ) or preposition (בְ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine plural adjective רַבִּים expresses numerical or qualitative greatness derived from רבב, "to be many" or "to become great." "Many" preserves the root idea of multiplicity while reflecting the plural form. |
