from the officiating priests

Morphological NotesPreposition מִן (assimilated to מֵ) + definite article הַ + noun כֹּהֲנִים (common masculine plural absolute). No pronominal suffix; definite by article.
Rendering RationaleThe noun כֹּהֲנִים is the masculine plural absolute form of כֹּהֵן, "one who officiates." The prefixed מֵ and הַ indicate "from the" with the definite article. Rendering it as "from the officiating priests" preserves the root sense of active sacred service and reflects the masculine plural form.
