SIBI-P1 H3427-19

the dwelling ones

Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). Functions substantivally: "the ones dwelling" or "the inhabitants."
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal masculine plural participle with the definite article, literally "the ones who are sitting/dwelling." Rendering it as "the dwelling ones" preserves the participial, ongoing sense of y-š-b (to sit, dwell, remain) while reflecting the masculine plural form and the definite article.
