young lads
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in the absolute state (HNcmpa) from נַעַר (naʿar). No pronominal suffix; number and gender are explicitly masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נְעָרִים is masculine plural absolute, so the rendering reflects masculine plural form with “lads.” The term derives from a root associated with stirring or youthful energy, thus conveying the sense of vigorous young males, whether sons, attendants, or servants depending on context. |
