Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun (HNcmsa/HNcmsc). Though lexicalized as a noun, it reflects an active participial formation meaning "one who officiates." Forms here are singular, without pronominal suffixes.
Rendering RationaleThe noun כֹּהֵן derives from the verbal root כהן, "to officiate or serve as priest," and is morphologically a masculine singular noun (absolute or construct). Rendering it as "officiating priest" preserves the active, participial sense embedded in the form—one who performs priestly service—while accurately reflecting its masculine singular morphology.
