the waters

Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun with prefixed definite article (הַ); plural of extension, always appearing in plural form though often conceptually singular; absolute state.
Rendering RationaleThe form הַמָּיִם is a common masculine plural noun with the definite article ("the"). Though morphologically plural, מַיִם functions as a plural of extension referring to a collective mass of water; rendering it "the waters" preserves both the plural morphology and the sense of abundant, flowing fluid inherent in the root.
