| Morphological Notes | Adjective functioning substantivally; masculine plural construct form of זָקֵן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural masculine construct form denotes aged men functioning as recognized senior figures in relation to what follows, hence "elders of." The construct state requires the relational sense "of," preserving both plurality and social status derived from age. |
