mighty men
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural adjective/noun, absolute state, functioning substantivally to denote men characterized by strength or valor. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גִּבּוֹר derives from the root גבר, denoting strength and prevailing power; in the masculine plural absolute form it refers to multiple male persons characterized by might or valor. "Mighty men" preserves both the intensive sense of embodied strength and the masculine plural morphology. |
