the near ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine plural, absolute state, with definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective קָרֵב denotes the state of being near or close, derived from the root meaning "to approach." The masculine plural with definite article is preserved as "the near ones," reflecting both number and definiteness without shifting to a verbal sense. |
