and to the singing-men
| Morphological Notes | Polel active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed conjunction וְ and preposition לַ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Polel active participle masculine plural denotes those actively engaged in vocal music-making. Rendering it as "singing-men" preserves the participial force and masculine plural form, while the prefixed conjunction and preposition are reflected in "and to the." |
