thick-minded ones
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural adjective/noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine plural form denotes persons characterized by the quality derived from כסל—thickness or dull density—extended metaphorically to intellectual and moral insensitivity. "Thick-minded ones" preserves the root imagery and the plural masculine morphology. |
