wise-men of
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic adjective/noun; masculine plural construct (ANcmpc). Functions substantivally as "wise men of…" in a construct chain, requiring a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form חַכִּימֵי is a masculine plural construct in Aramaic, meaning "wise-men of" and linking these men to what follows in possession or association. Rendering it "wise-men of" preserves the masculine plural sense and reflects the construct relationship, while retaining the root idea of wisdom and skilled discernment from חכם. |
