| Root | ידע (y-d-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | knowing, perceiving, recognizing, experiencing, discerning |
| Semantic Range | to know, perceive, recognize, understand, experience, be acquainted with, discern, acknowledge |
| Conceptual Significance | ידע expresses experiential and relational knowledge in the Hebrew Bible, often implying covenantal awareness or intimate familiarity rather than mere intellectual cognition. As a participle, it designates a class of persons defined by their discernment or relational knowledge, frequently marking wisdom, skill, or covenant loyalty. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal participle, masculine plural, construct (יֹדְעֵי). Functions substantivally: "those who know" or "knowers of" something specified by a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal masculine plural participle in the construct state, denoting those who are characterized by knowing. Rendering it as "knowers of" preserves the active, experiential force of the root ידע (to know by perception or experience) and reflects the masculine plural participial form in construct relation to what follows. |
