mighty ones
| Root | איל (ʾ-y-l) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, robustness, sturdy support, leadership |
| Semantic Range | rams (as strong animals), mighty men or chiefs, pillars or posts (as sturdy supports), oaks or strong trees, powerful leaders |
| Conceptual Significance | The term evokes visible strength and prominence—whether in sacrificial rams, political leaders, or structural supports—symbolizing power, stability, and authority within Israel’s social, cultic, and architectural life. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine common plural absolute noun from אַיִל (ʾayil). No pronominal suffix; denotes multiple entities characterized by strength. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root conveying strength and robustness. As a masculine common plural absolute (HNcmpa), the form refers to multiple strong or powerful beings or objects; "mighty ones" preserves the core idea of strength while accurately reflecting the masculine plural form. |
