𐤌𐤔𐤉𐤇𐤉/𐤊
mâshîyach
your anointed
Anointed one; a person ceremonially marked by anointing oil to designate appointment to a special office, most commonly king or priest. The term refers variously to an individual divinely chosen for leadership (such as an Israelite king) or to a priest (notably the high priest), sometimes to a prophet. In post-exilic and later Hebrew texts, it can refer with increasing specificity to a future ideal ruler, especially in eschatological contexts. The semantic range includes any person set apart by anointing for sacred or public office.

your anointed ones
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state + 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מָשִׁיחַ means "anointed one," derived from the root משח (to anoint). The masculine plural construct form with a 2ms suffix yields "your anointed ones," preserving both plurality and second masculine singular possession. |
