SIBI-P1 Translation H1505-01
decreeing ones
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic Peal (simple stem), active participle, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal active participle masculine plural denotes those who are actively performing the action of the root. Rendering it as "decreeing ones" preserves both the decision/decree sense of גזר and the participial, masculine plural force. |
