the one dwelling

Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed definite article הַ. From the root ישב (y-š-b), indicating continuous or characteristic action: "the one who sits/dwells."
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute, with the definite article, literally "the sitting/dwelling one." Rendering it as "the one dwelling" preserves the participial, ongoing sense of the root ישב (to sit, dwell, remain) while reflecting its definite, masculine singular form.
