in the thick-minded ones
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + definite article + masculine plural adjective functioning substantivally; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root כסל conveys thickness or fatness extended metaphorically to dullness or moral insensibility. The form is masculine plural absolute used substantivally with prefixed ב + definite article, hence "in the thick-minded ones," preserving both plurality and definiteness. |
