mighty rams
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine plural absolute from אַיִל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אַיִל derives from the root אול conveying strength or might. As a masculine plural absolute form, אֵלִים is rendered "mighty rams," preserving both the zoological sense (ram) and the root concept of strength, while reflecting plural masculine morphology. |
