SIBI-P1 Translation H8074-25
desolate ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, feminine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle feminine plural denotes those characterized by being desolate or devastated. Although formally active, the Qal of שׁמם often carries a stative/passive sense, thus "desolate ones" preserves both the root meaning and the feminine plural morphology. |
