the rejoicing ones
| Root | שׂמח (ś-m-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | joy, gladness, brightness, rejoicing, cheerfulness |
| Semantic Range | to be glad, rejoice, be joyful, be merry, exult, experience inner gladness or outward celebration |
| Conceptual Significance | Joy in the Hebrew Bible is often a covenantal and communal response to Yahweh’s saving acts, blessings, and presence. Those described as "the rejoicing ones" are marked by a visible, communal gladness rooted in divine favor and restored relationship. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle masculine plural absolute from שָׂמַח with prefixed definite article הַ; denotes those characterized by rejoicing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine plural with the definite article, literally "the ones who are rejoicing." Rendering it as "the rejoicing ones" preserves the ongoing, active sense of the participle, reflects the masculine plural number, and retains the definiteness marked by the article. |
