and those having-been-sealed
| Root | חתם (ch-t-m) |
| Core Meanings | to seal, to close up, to affix a seal, to shut, to finalize |
| Semantic Range | to seal with a signet, to close up securely, to authenticate, to certify, to finalize, to shut in or enclose |
| Conceptual Significance | Sealing in the biblical world signified authentication, ownership, authority, or protection. Those described as "sealed" are marked as confirmed, secured, or set apart, reflecting themes of divine authorization and covenantal certainty. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + Qal passive participle masculine plural absolute from חתם. The passive participle denotes a completed state—those marked or closed by a seal. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חתם conveys the act of sealing or closing securely. The form חֲתֻמִים is a Qal passive participle masculine plural absolute, indicating "those who have been sealed." The prefixed conjunction וַ adds "and," preserving both the passive sense and the masculine plural form in the rendering. |
